More general comments about the GPC project:
Why isn't it possible to have a recent download via CVS or snapshots on a daily basis? Why is it that difficult with GPC?
For all I can tell, this would cause even more confusion because such snapshots most of the time are even less stable to unusable.
Sorry for this little rant, but to make it short: If you mean why I don't make daily snapshots: I don't have the time and I don't like to. If you mean anyone else: Just go ahead and tell us the name of your download server (you can write to gpc-announce, of course) ...
I think it would be useful to release alphas more frequently (say about one a month). On the other hand I fully agree that released version should have no problems which can be found by routine testing (unless the problem is very hard to fix). It saves a lot of time both for developers and for users.
By the way, if anybody wants to hack gpc (or just is curious) I can show all what I am working on -- but I think that nobody here is interested in buggy code (even if the code passes the test suite).
