Usually a new release come out after some major changes and it's out for people who are "scared" about using latest changes . I don't see why someone would stay with U++ 2008.1 or other release. Using U++ from development branch doesn't break your application(too often ) and make you keeping the step with the changes which are introduced daily. My advice is to don't be afraid of using latest U++ from svn. And yes, i think there should be a new release for 2009 year and i think Mirek is thinking at that too ( U++ PR, server infrastructure, etc.)

I guess this requires some more discussion....
Actually, I was rather thinking that I will abandon the idea of "major" "stable" releases.
The real reson is that it seems unlikely that we have enough manpower and will to backport any bug fixes. Therefore, 'head' release is almost always more stable than any previous release.
In fact, in the past 10 years, I was always using head. Of course, for me it is simple as there is for me no real distinction between U++ bug and final application bug...
It is also worth mentioning that most abrupt changes of the past are now, well, the past.

I propose to implement an bugzila or issue (as in google), this implementation will be better to know bug detail.
