I have created new stable branches for the upcoming release.
From now on *all* bug fixes and *only* bug fixes *must* go to this new stable branch. I reserve the right to undo any changes that do not comply with this rule.
All packages use the same name for the branch: Feb2009. So in each of your stable checkout directories you can do cvs update -rFeb2009 to update to the new branch. I have created branches for the following packages: MonetDB MonetDB4 MonetDB5 TestTools buildtools clients geom java pathfinder sql template testing. Note that datacell is missing from this list. It is not yet released and will not be released in this round. Also note that two packages now have stable branches that didn't use to have them: java and testing. Testing is a new package (split off from MonetDB) and java is now also incorporated in the release cycle.
