There has been discussions about it on and off, but we have quite limited man power, so I hasn't happened yet. I'm setting up a regression testing system (with buildbot) which will hopefully help us getting there. Preferably we should have time based releases (E.G. something like every 6 months). -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
