Re: State of the project?

Hi Kevin,

I am not one of the maintainer of the project but contribute it when I 
need to.

I understand your fear that the CVS is not as stable as it could be.
But there are really a few bugs in the current Tidy code and
I think that  the last changes were quite small.

I use personally Tidy to build an extension for Firefox called HTML 
Validator.
I use the CVS version because there are several bugs solved in CVS and 
not in
bundles versions. And I must say I never got problems with it !

But maybe, it is true that having one real version per year,  would be 
better....

Regards,

Marc
