This would be great. > For alpha vs. beta, I often see that alpha is near-release, but not yet > feature-frozen, while the developers would like feedback on the current > state of the software; beta is feature-frozen, with only bug fixes included > in one release to the other (RC meaning that only critical bug fixes are > being fixed). Per our own definitions alpha means only *few* new features are expected to happen for 2.4, beta means only *small* changes intended for 2.4. If you wait for ePub to finish then I think it's time for beta, if you want to push release now, then I'd still go with alpha. But I don't think it matters much in the end, Pavel -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
