Re: Galeon problem/ advanced txt prob
As far as I know, unless something has changed in the past 6 months, sid
will always remain the 'code' name for the unstable branch. This info is
circa last spring. Woody will eventually become the stable branch and
potato will be moved to the archive. To look back in history (and
current status)
name version released status
buzz 1.1 jun 96 historic
rex 1.2 dec 96 historic
bo 1.3 jul 97 historic
hamm 2.0 jul 98 historic
slink 2.1 mar 99 historic
potato 2.2 stable
woody frozen
sid unstable
sorry, it's an old table so I don't have all the specifics.
