in principle I'm all for using the current source (cvs) for a

the changes, but c'est la vie.
however, in general I would welcome a little more formal policy
with respect to changes that are backwards-incompatible by
design...
I take your point, but the only such change in current CVS is the
handling of string variables, and that's the main reason why I was
hesitant to base a new release on current CVS without further
discussion.
I'm happy to listen to suggestions on a policy for future use.
