Releases, i. e. increments of X or Y in the U-Boot-X_Y_Z CVS tags,
have always been announced here, and will be. The "minor" releases on
our FTP server are merely snapshots to help work around the access
and delay problems to SF's CVS server.
I think there is two groups of people on this mailing list: users and
developers. For users, the "major releases" are perfectly OK to use.
Developers usually can use the top-of-tree version from CVS. Except
for a very few cases I always run a certain set of tests before ever
checking in code to the public CVS server. This is good enough for
99% of all developers. If you feel unsafe with that, you can use a
tagged version; if you need even more reliability you can use one of
the "minor releases" tagged as U-Boot-X_Y_Z (with snapshots on our
FTP server).
If you're interested in the development, watch the CVS. I don't
intend to announce each and every check-in. If you like, you can, for
example, "cvs watch add CHANGELOG".
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
