Thanks, John. Now I understand. So when I see someone talking about features in the current SVN, I can know that, once it is deemed stable, the updated version will be "released", right?
Generally, the folks running the show wait until a number of features have been added, and have had time to be tested a bit before making a release.
What's in svn is generally plenty stable though. At least, that's what I've found. Various factors can keep a release from happening. Maybe someone's waiting to add a pet feature, or docs just need to be updated, or maybe translation work has to be finished up (I don't know anything about that though).
It is generally exactly like that. Ok, if we would wait for some kind of complete documentation we wouldn't have already version 0.11 ;-). But most stoppers for a release are translation work or just testing of new features.
Anyway, anyone who want to help developing Geany, just using it helps a lot. The more people are testing the current SVn version with its new features the more bugs can be detected and fixed so that the upcoming release will be even better.
