[Carpet] Upcoming stable version

[Erik Schnetter]

Carpet development has reached a plateau.  The last months have seen  
incremental rather that revolutionary progress, and many people use  
the current development version for production runs.  I think this  
would be a good time to start a new stable branch.  This means that  
this stable version won't see major changes any more.  (It goes  
without saying that errors will still be corrected.)  This will be  
Carpet version 3.



If you use Carpet for production runs, and if you are currently using  
the development branch, then I recommend to you to switch to the  
stable version.  You have public read-only access with

	darcs get http://www.carpetcode.org/~darcs/carpet-stable-3

and you can convert your existing checkout with

	cd carpet
	darcs pull http://www.carpetcode.org/~darcs/carpet-stable-3

I have also updated the instructions on the Carpet web pages.



Development will continue on the development branch.  I plan some  
internal rearrangements of Carpet in the near future; you may want to  
avoid them for production work.

The development version of Carpet used to be available only via ssh.   
My plan was to make many people contribute to Carpet by making it  
easy to contribute.  This plan failed.  As described on the web  
pages, all versions of Carpet are now available via anonymous read- 
only access.

I still plan CVS and Subversion mirrors of Carpet.  The script that  
converts the darcs repository does unfortunately not yet work correctly.
