I don't think I ever heard back from my last question on this. So,  
will try again...

Normal process in preparing for a release would be to create a  
'branch'. This would free up 'trunk' for new development. Finalization  
for a release would occur in the branch. Once released, a 'tag' would  
be created.

So, I don't know why there's a tag. A tag would imply that the  
Imperius community has performed a release. Which it has not...

Thanks for staying on top of this, Kevan.

Of course, "normal process" is an oxymoron in Apache-land. ;-)

It might be a good time for Imperius to establish a release naming  
convention and a release process. This discussion should end in  
consensus among the developer community and the result captured on the  
Imperius web site.

Any Imperius developer should be able to follow the process and create  
a release...
