How about a stable version of CB
Auria:
I understand the need to get astable SDK, but i think the pages "improvements", "what's new" and "known bugs" need to be updated or removed because their current state is very bad publicity for Code::Blocks. Perhaps also keeping links to nightlies for some popular distros as it's not very nice that newcomers need to search through threads to find nightlies for their platform

Well, nightly builds are not updates as in the accepted meaning of the term 'update' in the software development world. Although they 'update', they are not 'updates'. An update is a patch to a well established set of 100% functional features which changes or adds something. Bugs can always be present or can even be dormant for years, but in a release stage bugs are not assumed !!! In any other case, the project is either in alpha stage, either in beta stage and is preparing for a release after its users' feedback.

Well, then maybe windows xp and vista where still alpha or beta products when first launched on the market (those service packs are really huge) So that makes all windows users like my self beta testers :D
For me the word "update" on software is relative, since imho, software is always changing (do we really have a final version at all?). It's our point of view if we think the software is done or not. Many commercial companies throw there software as a final release even knowing it has bugs, but thats just marketing$$$, then correct the problems with "updates" (or completely core changes), but hey I'm using codeblocks as my principal tool, marked as final release or not it works 100% for my needs! There are some advanced users willing for more, but I'm happy with it.
At least we have a working IDE, and we can be sure that we will have a great and polished product once the developers think is finished! :)

Then maybe an inno setup or nsis script donation would be nice for windows users, and some autopackage to create a single binary distribution for all Linux distros.
Open source also means: feel free to contribute :) Hey that sounds great for a signature 8)

Dear Manmohan,
Please don't hijack a thread. IMHO, you're doing more to popularize your website than doing something for the community.
Regarding ur site, you still seem to ignore the request made by Thomas to publish the source of the binary that you are distributing. That means you are not complying with GPL.
Also, please refrain from copying the contents of one site to your site to your site without the prior permission from the Copyright holder. A major portion of contents of your Site's download page has been copied from the Download page of Code::Blocks home page. That's a clear violation of Copyright Law. If you don't know what Copyright Law is, Google it.
I would request you to obey the forum rules and avoid cross posting. Otherwise, You may get banned in future.

Please, what is so hard to understand?
If you provide binaries to C::B SVN releases revision XXX you have to release the sources to revision XXX, too.
It is not enough to provide sources to an outdated version of C::B. Especially if you link to the sourceforge page which is outdated in addition.
You have to do the following:
- upload the sources you used to compile C::B to your server
Otherwise you are violating copyright law! If you do that you will be banned. It is as simple as that. Time is ticking.
With regards, Morten.
