Xavier, don't you think it would be a good time for going with a dual cvs branch scheme or something like that, where you have a released branch (3.05, and bugfix releases : 3.05.1, 3.05.2, etc) and a development branch (which will become 3.06). I suppose it is easy now to do a 3.06 bufix release, but what will happen when you encouter such a serious bug which needs fixing, when you are in the middle of developpment of the next version, and the cvs tree is not really in a releasable state ? In this case, will you revert all your changes and reapply after having released the bugfix version, hurry the developpment so you can ship the new version fixing the bug, or just let the bug stay until the next version is released ? None of these solutions appear satisfactory.
