Re: [Texmacs-dev] Suggestions to release GNU TeXmacs 1.99.12

[TeXmacs]

Hi Darcy,

We sure can discuss how to improve the release cycle.

But it is not possible to fix every single bug before
releasing a new version.  We can use fix part of them and
fix more of them in a subsequent version.

I agree that we should do more testing before releases as well.
Denis systematically runs a series of tests before every new version,
but we could extend the tests both in number and in quality.

Best wishes, --Joris
