Not sure I follow what you mean by "by this method". IMO we should bump the major version to 2.0 whenever we made changes that we feel warrant it. Things I would consider warranting such a change: - Restructuring of the evaluation system and macros so that we can add compilation (and by compilation I mean anything like VM, JIT, offline->c, whatever). - Support for elisp that's ready for public use. - Performance improvement of large factors due to overhaul of XYZ. - Full numeric tower. etc. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
