I''m rather more concerned with module development, and how this fares after<br>
the software release.<br>

Unless the testing phase of the release candidate includes checking whether<br>
a module built with the SWORD utility (e.g. osis2mod) from the same software<br>
build, and is then tested as a module in a front-end that has been<br>

Troy has been slowly growing a testsuite of issues when regressions appear and corner cases crop up that he can run automatically. That doesn't help for any particular front-end, but if the engine is still producing what we all have agreed is correct, then any regressions as such would be issues that the frontend needs to update.</div>

And how many features does such a module need to have to create such<br>
confidence?<br>
<br>
Does anyone disagree with this as being a sensible requirement?<br>
