In some ways, it does. A release has the advantage that it has been
checked out intensly. Hopefully many more bugs have been found
and squished. One way this is achieved is by freezing the features of
a version. So, yes, a release lacks improved versions. In return,
a release is MUCH better suited to running on a production machine.

port-mac68k is very much on the hairy edge. We're still gaining
functionality on lots of machines, so there's a lot to change between
releases.

For an SE/30, I thought 1.2 was quite stable (modulo the vt100/vt220
bit). I ran it on banana, my se/30, w/o a problem. It even has an
Asante Ethernet card. :-)

Take care,
