It is a milestone build and not a release.

    Thanks

Subject	[atf-dev] Re: 0.2.3. release

ATF Developers,
>From this email, it seems that 0.2.3 has many new features and is not
just a bug fix release. This leads to a number of issues:
1.        The
Eclipse terminology for releases, bug fixes, and milestones is:
1.        n.p.q
Mx = "n" changes if there is a major, API incompatible release;
"p" changes if there is a major, but API compatible release;
"q" changes if there is a bug fix release; and "x"
changes as the development milestones are reached (M1, M2, M3, etc).
2.        Perhaps
your release is really a milestone and thus is "0.2 M3" instead
of "0.2.3" ?
2.        If
this is a real release (not a milestone) with many new features (not just
bug fixes) then it _must_ go through a Release Review. The project may
not produce releases without a Review.
1.        There
is an exception to the Reviews-required for bug fix releases, but bug fix
releases are never described as "quite a few changes ... (...move
to [new version of the Platform])".
Please clarify the situation here: is this a milestone
described with incorrect terminology? is this a bugfix release with no
major new features? is this a full-featured release?

Thank you,
Bjorn

We're currently winding down and hope to have the next release out soon.
 There are quite a few changes from the last milestone (in particular,
the move to Eclipse 3.3).  We are putting together a full list of
changes, which will be available with the release.
