Adblock Plus and (a little) more
New info page for development builds · 2010-05-06 10:52 by Wladimir Palant
Most people using development builds no longer update them manually, reading development build announcements isn’t absolutely necessary either. It was time to update the website to consider these changed circumstances — requiring people looking for a download link to open a blog post doesn’t make sense any more. Instead I created an info page that people are send to when they click on “development builds” link. I tried to keep it short yet still give all the important information (and yes, I still consider some information more important than the installation link which is why I put it first). Subscribing to the announcements is merely a recommendation now.
There is another change, namely version numbers of development builds. So far you had to read the announcements to know where we are in the development cycle — whether you are using an Alpha, Beta or Release Candidate build. The version numbers themselves had very little information. I decided to change that, current development builds will now have the version number “1.3a” instead of “1.2.0+”. As we get closer to a release I’ll change it into “1.3b” and eventually “1.3rc”. This will also make it easier to differentiate builds from stable branches as we had them for Adblock Plus 1.0.x and 1.1.x releases. Finally a minor change: the build number was shortened to eight digits, the hour of the build is meaningless now that the builds are always created at the same time.

This is one of the best posts that I’ve ever seen; you may include some more ideas in the same theme. I’m still waiting for some interesting thoughts from your side in your next post.
