What you need for each release is:
1. a brief list of important changes in the release that everyone can read quickly;
2. a list of all other changes in the release that most people don't bother reading;
3. a list of every change ever made to the project (i.e. the above link).
The first two can be distributed with the release, the third can simply be linked to.
BTW, I'm really glad I kicked off this topic. I'm obviously not alone in thinking an official full release is long overdue, and I'm looking forward to the new release sometime in the near future, thanks in advance to everyone involved! :)

There's a poll running now on one of the wxwidgets fora for which IDE people are using:

Code::Blocks is leading so far, but that's not the reason I am posting this. It occurred to me that c::b may not be getting its fair shake due to lack of updated information. Although a new release might indeed be a good idea, may I suggest that at least the home page be changed? Someone arriving there looking for info will get the wrong impression, i.e. that c::b is stagnated for over two years, since only those "in the know" are familiar with the nightlies. Simply having a link to them in the front page doesn't cut it. I know that keeping documentation and web sites up to date can be a bitch, all I am suggesting is to scrub all the outdated information from the page (e.g. "a new version is coming soon"), and replace it with a short blurb about the nightlies, such as: "Code::Blocks is under intensive development. Improved versions are being constantly released as nightly builds. Despite being to a certain extent experimental, such builds are stable and under heavy use by large number of developers. Prospective users should go to the following url to get the most current version and information on how to install and use it", and then point to the appropriate forum post.
We (regular users) could provide small endorsements if the webmasters so wish, so that they could be put on the front page as well.
Regards,
Ken

I would like to have a new release, but my reason s mostly that I need an updated gcc. I have tried to setup myself TDM, but then some things works and some dont work anymore. SO, I would prefer to receive an official package, made by more experienced people, with both an updated IDE and gcc.

I prefer that Code::Blocks NEVER ship a compiler with it; because of all the dumb idiots who can not figure out how to install a compiler would NOT keep saying. I do NOT need to upgrade the gcc it came with C::B 8.02 it must work with Vista and Win 7. I hate wasting my time repeating to idiots you must UPGRADE MinGW GCC to a version that works with Windows 7 (Windows version 6.1).
