In this paragraph, this sentence should be modified:

--- Quote ---Since early this year, January the 2nd to be precise, we started publishing what we call "nightly builds".

Not strange  - because I know the changes that will be included from the SVN log. ;-)

Eden:
To be honest I don't think it matters if you have nightly builds or not people will be put off with the fact that you haven't had any major/stable release for over a year. I know of a lot of people who don't use the nightly builds because they either didn't know what they are or weren't sure what to do with them or which ones to use.

A stable release every so often goes a long way to show that your still alive, because lets face it with the exception of the "Latest forum topics" the website looks like its been dead for over a year which technically it has and for your average person if the website looks dead the projects probably dead as well which almost always isnt the case, but were human and that how humans work.

I guess what im saying is by-yearly stableish releases and an up to date active web site will go a long way and that extra little bit of work to do that will be worth it imo.

jimp:
Thanks to the two people with specific recommendations. I will try one or both of them.

BTW...
A couple of months ago there was a release where the program would close unexpectedly. It was discussed in this forum and several people were having the problem. It lasted for several weeks. Stating that all nightly builds will be error free is being overly optimistic. It is also a denial of the statement by two people in this thread who said they are having problems. You cannot solve someone's problem by explaining it away or denying its existence. Everyone's experience does not mimic your own. Anyway... thanks for the help. I'll be happy if one of the recommended releases work.

Alturin:
When a program is large enough, even with 'stable' versions, there will always be people where something goes wrong.
In this case (a program in development), I doubt there will ever be a release that is totally bug free, so why not just grab the nightly that was released two weeks ago? Surely by now any critical bugs that could of been in there have been discovered?
I use C::B for all my C/C++ development, and by staying behind about a week on the SVN sources I haven't experienced anything critical at all yet.
