No features. I just think it makes more sense to create the release branch when you make the first beta.
That is common in other projects. It does have the problem that you have to apply bug-fixes twice,
That only makes a difference for a short time. Eventually there will be a maintenance branch.
which is tedious to do.
It is *much* less so with subversion. We should switch. :)
Not branching only hurts if there are significant sub-projects that need to share up-to-date sources, which is not the case for Python.
I think that branching would tend to enforce the feature freeze. I don't feel strongly about this. I was just a little surprised. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
