Re: [Beaver-devel] Host change and the rewrite.

[Andrea Florio]

Hi Higor, Hi list

i gave a fast look to your changes into un-stable branch

i have to ask you to please remove "data/beaver.desktop" and
"src/Makefile.in"

they are both automatically generated by the new autotools
configuration, and, as well, doing that we lost the "translations" into
the desktop file.

I would also like to release beaver 0.4.0 STABLE, we are in RC1 status,
and if you compare latest "master" branch with the rc1 you see the
several code clean up and all autotools configuration has been rewritten.

it's not mandatory (it can be the next release feature)

but i guess that add localization support would be the latest change we
need to release the stable version.

if you do not agree to do that, i think we have to release th stable
version as soon as possible for the following reasons:

1st) show the project is not dead
2nd) actual code include plugins not available into rc1 tarball
3rd) actual code include code clean up, bugfix and a completly new
rewritten autotools configuration
4th) distros like openSUSE ship RC1 and they will love to upgrade to a
stable tarball as soon as possible

5th) merge the unstable branch to the master one and begin active
development

best regards
Andrea
