From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Paul Traina To: Rick Macdonald Cc: Bob Manson , gnats-devel@sourceware.cygnus.com, bug-gnats@gnu.org Subject: Re: proclamation of intent Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 10:27:00 -0000 Message-id: <19990823102706.G2342@red.juniper.net> References: <199908182013.NAA02379@tristam.juniper.net> X-SW-Source: 1999-q3/msg00008.html If we're backwards compatible with 3.x's API's and GNATS socket interface, I'm cool with calling it 3.300. However I note that we have a unique opportunity to clean up some of the additional configuration mess that has occured over the years (e.g. gnatsd config files are a nightmare) and if we want to make backwards incompatible changes, we should do a 4.0 beta release.
