Thanks for the heads up. Now, once more, into the breach!

It tels: "As of July 2002 there is no development release because Perl 5.8.0 was released...".

That fact hasn't changed. The next development release will be 5.9.0, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Maybe the p5p meeting later this month in Paris will shed some light on this.

OK, this isn't a development release, but is a important thing, and need to be in the Perl site! Note, that nothing is commented about the 5.8.1 development!

There's also apparently a difference between the minor revisions - those are maintenance releases and aren't exactly "development". I guess "development" would mean 5.9 and 5.10 while the .1 is just maintenance. I guess that implies differences in what sort of changes are allowed for each - the development track would presumably allow a lot more flexibility in what changes.

No. Odd numbers are development releases, and evens are offcial releases, and the minor are maintenance releases..

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
