Well, you need to dig into the sourcode of the releases.inc (or whathever it is called) file in project module, to find out how releases are created. I expect that it should be created once you have a 4.4. branch. If you had that before, but removed it, then you hit a bug in project module, which noone fixed yet (releases are not recreated). Then you need to contact Dries.
Ok, either there is a bug preventing me from ever getting/seeing the "add a release" menu, or my account and/or project is configured incorrectly -- but I sure can't find any setting that *I* can change to fix this.
Note that I don't see the "delete a release" option either, but was able to delete my 4.5 release by hacking in the proper URI in my browser, and I can edit the text of a releae, so it does not appear to be simple role permission problem.
I also don't see the track subtabs in my account view either, as I do in others who have projects. Could that be related?
Noone knows better than the one who checks the sourcecode as I pointed out: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/project/release.i... Goba
