It might be an idea to create "dev" and "production" branches. Personally, I read the original 1.8.1 announcement on this list and stayed with 1.8.0, but I can see how others, accustomed to the usual high quality of your releases would think that 1.8.1 would be as stable as 1.8.0. How about 1.x.y-dev or 1.x.y-bzz (eg b20 b=beta)? R. -- http://robinbowes.com
