Indeed, I think that shorter release cycles will greatly improve the whole development process. > Users who track the CVS sources from camlcvs.inria.fr are encouraged > to switch to the current release branch, which is labeled "release308". Done. So far everything seems to work smoothly. > Now is a very good time to test and report bugs. Let me add that I'm always impressed of the quality of the CVS-versions so users should be encouraged to try it and thus help INRIA with testing. My machine automatically checks out changes on an almost daily basis and recompiles all libraries I need. It happens extremely seldom (maybe 2-3 times a year) that something doesn't work with the CVS-version that does with the stable version (usually it's the other way round), and the team at INRIA is very responsive to bug reports. Thanks for your efforts, and keep up the great work!
