This has been a bit of a perrenial problem.  dtc development has been
sufficiently gradual that there haven't been many obvious points for
making new releases.  dtc developers (i.e. Jon and my, mostly) don't
feel much pain from the lack of releases, since the git snapshots
generally work well (thanks to limited scope and a good testsuite).

I wonder if we should move to a model of just making a release every 3
or 6 months from whatever happens to be in the tree at the time
(barring obvious known breakage, of course).

yes please.  even just a version that uses datestamps would be fine.

Fine by me.

So is this happening? I agree a regular release would be useful, and I
think it has been about 18 months since the last release.

I'll apply a couple 3 outstanding patches (from Kim Phillips)
and get around to tagging a new release.  If you, or anyone else
have patches or functionality you want in this release, please
post those patches now.

OK thanks. I don't have any new patches at present.
