Re: Stable release 4.0.2

 

I think if there were significant changes to what's on github then we
should just put the new tag on the same revisions as the old tag. We
wouldn't want people to update expecting bug fixes and suddenly they have
issues because they updated the libs.  The lib maintainers need to
establish some protocol for releases etc.
