Kevin - I'd love to do just that (I've already built 2.5.3 and am
perusing the CVS logs for deltas as I compose this), but my boss(es) are
big on only deploying 3rd-party libraries which have been blessed as
"stable" to our customers (yes, I'm on a commercial endeavor), and it's
hard for me to blame them from a risk standpoint.

I look forward to 2.6 (or whatever is to be the next stable release).
To that point - can someone point me to the
policies/criteria/processes/thresholds/heuristics for deeming a
particular release as a "snapshot" or "stable?"  That might shift my
comfort level using one of the development snapshots.

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

2.6 is going to be released in the next 4-5 weeks and little
(realistically
NO) effort is being put on improving the 2.4.x series at this time.  You
might save yourself a lot of time by testing on 2.5.4, because if it's
fixed there, it's not long until 2.6.  You can also get a head start
seeing what else has changed since 2.4.2, which on the GTK port, is a
*lot* :)

Thanks,

Kevin

Robert,

I will when I get a chance; I'm focussed on fixing in 2.4.2 since that's
what's "stable."

See my related message re: gdk_pointer_ungrab for my current workaround.

Thanks for your interest,

Chris

Hi Chris,

The irony is, of course, that 2.5.4 on GTK is more stable and reliable than
2.4.2, for a variety of reasons.  The term "stable" only refers to the API,
not the stability or "crash-prone-ness" of the library itself.  I have been
using HEAD for development on Mac and Linux because 2.4.2 is hopelessly old
(which is why 2.6 will be such a great thing) and haven't had any problems
because of it.

Kevin

"Stable" just means that the API is not changing and backwards 
compatibility is maintained for the duration of the release series.  See 
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/ReleaseSeries for more details.
