If this model turns out to work well, we hope it will make it easier for users to benefit from bug fixes between major releases, and speed up the release process. Users who track the CVS sources from camlcvs.inria.fr are encouraged to switch to the current release branch, which is labeled "release308". This is the branch where we currently do bug fixes before release 3.08 and where we'll do post-release bug fixes if needed. It is currently more up-to date than the main branch, which is the development branch, and will remain so for a couple of months at least. To switch your CVS checked-out sources to the release branch, just do cvs update -r release308 Users who are willing to beta-test the upcoming 3.08 release should also get the sources from the "release308" branch of the CVS: cvs -d ":pserver:anoncvs@camlcvs.inria.fr:/caml" checkout -r release308 ocaml Now is a very good time to test and report bugs.
