That is correct.

A GNU APL release is the state of the software at a point in time where it is stable. Stable means that all major trouble reports are fixed and no new functionality is
planned or in progress.

It is also a synchronization point in the sense that the lifetime of the previous release has ended. That implies that trouble reports on older releases will not be accepted
unless the problem reported still exists in the latest release.

Hi,

yes it is a snapshot of the current SVN.
No need to do anything if you update via SVN.

Best Regards,

Hi,

is this apl-1.9.tar.gz just a tar.gz of the current svn or something labelled 
as a reak 'stable' release?

since i assume you will be doing 'releases' from now on (?) - maybe calling it 
apl-2.0 would have been a better version number to start this new release 
scheme with rather then apl-1.9?

a suggestion - add something to the configure summary to make note what the 
configure was for - libapl or python3/lib_gnu_apl etc
like you are doing with     apl_POSTGRES:
apl_APL:     [yes/no]
apl_LIBAPL:  [yes/no]
apl_PYTHON:  [yes/np]

configure --with-python -> your Makefile.am is 'hardcoded' for 
'-I/usr/include/python3.6m -I/usr/include/python3.8'
i didn't see any information for compiling with different python versions and 
installation locations (for Python.h) that would require using CPPFLAGS for 
different installation locations and newer python versions
configure CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include/python3.10' ......     for my 
particular python3.10 installation

P.S. Some redundant distribution formats of GNU APL  (RMPs, windows)
are no longer supported. The best way of using GNU APL is to fetch it from
the savannah SVN and GIT archives (see https://www.gnu.org/software/apl ).
These archives are, unlike the less frequent GNU APL releases, always
up-to-date and in sync with the ongoing GNU APL development.
