[jsfunit-dev] Another beta release?

[Jason F]

I think it's always good to show that progress is being made.

If the timing of a release is pegged to the htmlunit release cycle, then the
amount of time in beta is already determined.  If that relationship is made
explicit and the reasons for it are explained, I don't think a lot of people
would complain.

Worse than endless beta is the sense that not enough attention is being paid
to a project.  I think that sense grows with the length of time between
releases of any kind, especially for young projects.  Release early, release
often, and whatnot.
