Multi-version installs, happyness?, feedback please!

Finally, just two questions:

1) Has anybody (can be a user, a tester or a developer) be unhappy
or has issues with 2.5 or 2.7?

I think. No.

2) Does it make sense to have different versions of a library, that
*behave* differently according to the their version?

From this point of view, probably the most stupid thing to do!

I don't understand the question -- there were bugs, and quite a few API changes (particularly through the 2.5 cycle), but I'm not unhappy about that - that's what development versions are for.

2) Does it make sense to have different versions of a library, that

Sure it does -- that's why they are different versions! We want wxPython to get better, and that does mean changes, not just bug fixes and added features. Oh, and a bug fix is a change in behavior, too.

From this point of view, probably the most stupid thing to do!

I know what you mean, stability of interface is a good thing, but progress is good, too. Personally, I'd rather see more progress at the expense of API stability on wxPython, but that's just me.
