> When will we see an updated stable release on, for example, Marmalade?
There is a stable "non-release" available from Melpa-Stable. The FAQ
covers why that isn't available from Marmalade also. It also mentions
that we are now in feature freeze, so that we can actually concentrate
on getting a new release out which will then be available from both
Melpa-Stable and Marmalade. A less hand waving "Roadmap toward 2.1.0"
will appear in a few days.
The reason why I am not releasing the master branch now, and then in due
time do the same with the next branch, is this: there are big changes in
master, it will take time for 1.2.* users to get used to them. There
are even bigger changes in next compared to master. I want to avoid
that users have to deal with two major upgrades in quick succession.
Best regards,
Jonas
