Hi everyone,
I don't know if you're like me but I have the strong feeling we should
be better at not introducing regressions. One of the goal of XE 1.3
and now again XE 1.4 was more stability and more automated tests.
WDYT?
Thanks

I'm not a developer but a user, nevertheless I'd like to give you my 2
cents:
I would prefer if you would do minor changes with only small or no impact to
the user (simply copy the new files into this and this folder and you get a
performance boost or higher security or whatsoever; or even an integrated
update-manager a la firefox) to the stable branch (maybe with somebody who
is responsible for the stable one) and beside this branch a developing
branch with a longer release-cycle. The benefit would be, that you have more
time to develop stuff (maybe bigger changes) and it does not affect the
general user because he is supposed to use the stable branch. Right now the
release-cycle is too fast for me as a user (sound strange but it's true for
me) to keep up with Xwiki.
Cheers,
