to re-iterate -- if you're dealing with an "x.y.z" issue, you should re-assign it to: 6.x-dev -- feature request 5.x-dev -- bug report/task for 5.x This seemed suspicious to me, because it makes 6.x-dev redundant with the feature request category. So I took another look at the tracker, and realized that you can't limit the search to a specific version or set of versions (not even on the advanced search page), though you can sort the results by version. You can limit a search to just feature requests.
In any event, the version number for feature requests is sort of irrelevant - there's no guarantee that it will make it into 6. I'd hate to think that when 6 is feature-frozen and 7.x-dev opened, the remaining feature requests will need to be bumped to the new version. That would be a waste of time. I'd rather just say that the version number on an open feature request is meaningless, so don't sweat it; use the date to figure out how long the request has been outstanding. When the request is finally implemented and closed, then the version number becomes meaningful and should be the version in which it first appears. Gary
