This reminds me that the releases are rare, and that the CVS/GIT<br>
snapshots continue to pretend to be the same version over long periods<br>
of time, which is confusing when users submit bug reports</blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>This only partially true. Right now ECL uses also the VCS (git) commit id to identify itself. This distinguishes the different versions and allows me to better find out what changes the user has.</div>
<div><br></div><div>OTOH, the release engineering problem continues to be that: a problem. The only reasons why there are no releases is because testing on all platforms takes time and the current infraestructure I have does not work well enough. See for instance how many of the platforms here have outdated tests: <a href="http://ecls.sourceforge.net/logs.html" target="_blank">http://ecls.sourceforge.net/logs.html</a></div>

<div>ECL is released as a part of Sage, and this happens on a regular basis (not on all platforms ECL supports though, but at least on a handful on different Linuxes and MacOSXs).</div><div>Juanjo, if you are interested in this, just post on sage-devel.</div>
