What we really need is to reach 1.0 and then we can branch off the stable version and start making tweaks to improve the API. What might help is to clearly define exactly what needs to be done for 1.0. Maybe through using the bugzilla, and assigning various bugs to comedi/comedlib version 1.0? - -- Frank -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+lw3V5vihyNWuA4URAjuLAKC9WaCHmoQfMtxltOGxdUXZTFqDPgCgiuRT y147QlutDiWcDwQdIcZEJy4= =ktu/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
