Generally beta means that you now only want to fix bugs and add critical missing features.
That sounds more like "stable" to me :)
No. Stable means no BC breaks!
If you still plan to break BC a lot you should stick with alpha or lower.
It wasn't a planned break. The BC break is a change in the path for a file, which was OLE/OLE.php and now is OLE.php to comply with pear standards.
Yeah. It is all ok. Pierre was just saying that if you plan on doing more BC breaks you should consider releasing below beta. Regards, Lukas
I thought BC breaks were allowed on any release before 1.0 - and that all packages < 1.0 should be ASSUMED to break by users. - Davey
