<para>
- NEWS! November 2006, Privoxy 3.0.6 stable is released. This is a significant
- upgrade with many new and enhanced features, and many bugs fixed.
+ This is a stable release, and marks a departure for Privoxy development.
</para>
<para>
- There was and will not be an official 3.0.4 release. This release cycle
- was used to gather our thoughts, play with some new ideas and refine
- some old ones. It will remain a development cycle with no actual release.
- 3.0.5 is the fruit of these efforts.
+ Previously, odd numbered releases were considered beta versions and
+ were only released at the end of the development cycle when the code
+ was already believed to be stable. Usually it was, so the stable release
+ contained pretty much the same code, but got a higher version number.
+ In the future we intend to release several snapshots between stable releases.
+ There will probably still be about two stable releases per year,
+ but hopefully about six snapshots instead of the two betas we have now.
+ The intentions is to make testing without CVS access easier.
