Perhaps we could consider having a stable branch, and a dev branch on github? Active work on dev branch, then a reintegration for point releases (0.9., 0.10 or whatever).
Or a different way would be to supply precompiled binaries (at least for windows) so that people can install a known entity - which would help us support them better, and compile from source at your own peril/pleasure  |
I think this is a discussion that needs to be had. This is similar to keeping track of database versions to closer keep track of the schema for troubleshooting and code build purposes.
Precompiled binaries are not far off the chart. The new Wiki system allows for users to upload any files so hosting such things would be easy as pie.
This would also require that someone take ownership over declaring a particular build as stable keeping it at that version until someone is able to go through the series of testing necessary to declare the next build set stable without issues.
I have limited time to post on this but there are some things to start with.
