Hello,
as there were accuses about a delayed release, I am showing the dates when a major release was out:
June 14, 2005 - first openser release, just a rebuild of ser 0.9.x October 28, 2005 - openser 1.0.0 July 10, 2006 - openser 1.1.0 (after more than 8 months) March 12, 2007 - openser 1.2.0 (after more than 8 months) December 13, 2007 - openser 1.3.0 (after more than 9 months) August 7, 2008 - openser 1.4.0 (less than 8 months)
So, maybe my memory is damaged, but you should be able to learn it from mailing lists and web. I do not buy that motivation about project quality degradation in release management.
Cheers, Daniel
