1. Release one XC version per year - that way you have time to really develop wanted/needed new features and test them, and test them again; release beta to selected testers so they can tell you what needs improvement or fix; when released this upgrade should include all bug fixes and security patches to date
2. Release bug fixes every 2-3 months - this has to be as separate installs independent from XC upgrade release. Why do I have to upgrade to new XC version just to fix bugs? Bug fixes should NOT include any improvements or new features.
3. Release security patches immediately when needed.
4. Tie CHANGELOG and bugtracker - make them one and only; when I look at the bug # in the CHANGELOG that same number in the bugtracker should bring the bug description and how to fix.
5. ...more to come from others....
