[M3devel] Think we need a new release.

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
I think one of the purposes of that is more cross platform compatibility, perhaps put in place everything to a major update on platform but for alpha testing new JIT RTCG or so (arguably we could stay in odd numbers being platform development until we get to a new even number for product release), while most of developers might want or not to migrate it's necessary to establish priorities and so for having such a thing.
Thanks in advance
