Re: [Networker] Bug regressions?

The "regression" you're seeing here isn't necessarily a regression as
such. Each jumbo patch goes through a release process which includes
testing, and that testing time is based on a cut from the code tree at a
fixed point in time. 7.3.1, for example, doesn't contain all the fixes
available on the evening before its release. It contains the fixes
available at the time the release was cut; probably 2-3 weeks previously.
In short, you should probably be *glad* that not all of the fixes are
there. If they were, you'd have a release with no testing against it.
And you've seen what 7.3 was like *with* testing..... 8O
Cheers,
Stuart.
Well, yes I understand what you are saying and it would seem reasonable
to expect that fixes from the past few weeks aren't in the next release.
But, what I seem to have noticed is that fixes from *months* prior
don't make it into releases either. I guess that's what got me worked up.
