Hi Ruy.
The idea is good, but in practice, it probably won't happen.
The thing is, I am not sure what could constitute a stable version of
BulkLoader. The
core code doesn't change much (two exceptions[1] during the last few years,
which
were good candidates for stable releases ;).
Also, the fact that I almost never get feedback about bugs introduced between
versions make it harder to reason on those terms. I my self, use BulkLoader
from
trunk, and I advise folks to do the same. Out of the +300 revisions, 3 or 4 had
regression bugs on them, and they're fixed pretty fast. Also BulkLoader has a
pretty
decent test suite at this point (over 230 tests) so large scale breakage is
very unlikely.
If I ever do any larger scale refactoring or api changes I'll try to keep that
in mind
though. What I've done so far is that I commit larger changes to trunk, let the
folks
on the mailing list know and ask them to test it. A few weeks without
complaints and
I upload a 'stable' download.
Regards
Arthur
[1] one such change was the LI refactor branch, and another was the domain
sharding one.
