Re: Branch development? ...Does anyone care about the user??

If there is still a substantial period of development required before
Adrian's "New Improved SG" becomes testable/useable, how about a formal
branch in CVS to allow bug-fixing and stability-improvments in the
SG-0.8 version?

SG-0.8 was 99% of the way towards being a killer plotting application on
linux. Unfortunately, a few small-but-significant bugs prevent it's
production-use (e.g. the loss of imported ascii-data with the wrong
(windows style) line-terminator, memory-leaks, bad scrolling/zooming
...). I started fixing a few things and writting plug-ins after 0.8 was
released but gave up once I could no longer compile from CVS.

Last time I could compile SG from CVS was about Jan/Feb. 2002. I'm not
sufficiently experienced with all GNU automake/autoconfigure stuff to
understand the build problems.
