Hi Anatoly,

we discussed in the last IRC meeting that there would be a minor release, e.g. 
1.2.1. There is no exact date yet (in the conference we talked about "mid of 
may") so expect it in the next two weeks. 
I'll probably create a page on the wiki with an explanation of the release 
policy, if i found nothing on the openser webpage with more informations 
about this.

The trunk is only for 1.3. Only bugfixes get backported to the 1.2 branch.

The 1.2 branch is technically not a release, as it changes over the time. So 
the most stable 1.2 release is at the moment 1.2.0. :-)

What link you do you use? I see an "openser-devel-svn-latest.tgz          
12-Mar-2007 02:11   5.7M" snapshot there.. 

Cheers,
