Hey all,

I did push some cleanups to prepare for a release 0.9.27,
eventually.  Just if you wonder what's the point of that.

I was indeed wondering if we would see a new release sometime soon

considering that the latest one dates from a few years ago. That is

answered now.

That also brought me to wonder how that release process would be

managed and effectively executed. Could you elaborate on that

point please?

One fact that gives me serious pause in that area is that the

majority of the commits I contributed in the last few days were

simply reverted thus reintroducing the problems they tried to fix

or introducing some new lesser one when the revert was partial.

A good number of others recent commits have been also similarly

impacted.

That leaves me quite puzzled.

My intent was to use libtcc as a significant part of the back-end

of MKCL. But after some study of the TCC source code I came

to the realization that there were a number of serious technical

problems with that. And now there is this governance aspect

being raised.  All that push me to reconsider my approach.

Jean-Claude Beaudoin
