hey
Awesome - i have to mention it though - Booki/BookType seems very lax
with the usual practice of maintaining version number releases. This is
standard practice, helps people who download it report bugs, and is easy
to do.
Standard practice is that you would update the files in the distro, even
make a branch/tag in the version control system (github) for each
numbered release. That never seems to happen? Any reason?
For instance it seems implied that this release is now "1.5" (only
mentioned on the download button at sourcefabric)- is that right?
Doesn't seem mentioned anyway in the source code though .. (CHANGES.txt,
README.txt ???)
Come on - this is easy ....
Andy
