As many of you no doubt have noticed, spyderous and I finished bumping
the modular packages to the newly released 7.0, which includes many
changes and bug fixes since 6.8.2. Over the next few weeks we'll be
finalizing licenses and other necessities. To whoever has been using
modular for awhile: please let us know of any issues you currently have,
or had during upgrading.
A couple people have also asked if 6.9 will be added to the tree. There
are currently no plans for this, and so 6.8.2-r4/6 (depending on
platform) will be the last monolithic version barring any major security
issues. I've already noted in a bug that bumping to 6.9 will not be as
easy as just changing the package version, and we see no reason to
provide it if 7.0 will be here anyway and upstream will not release any
further monolithic versions.
Merry Christmas,
Joshua Baergen
