OK, I'm convinced. Anyhow there are plenty of possible version numbers left :)
Does this mean we're getting the same update now but as 0.53-0?
Another reason could be that I'm unable to do as much testing myself as usual.
A minor inconvenience is that the older-mac compiles will have to wait until I can get back to my usual lair.
I still can't see the new test compilations up in your website. What about those? I think older mac versions (32 bits) are very rarely used these days.

imho, a "bugfix release" is a promise to the user that says "nothing

and with 0.52-3, plenty of things have changed (and a few annoying bugs have been fixed as well). ~70 C-files have been modified, and 3 header files have been modified (suggesting additions to the API)
so i just fail to understand why we can't just call it "0.53-0", as
this
clearly is beyond a "bugfix" release.
I fully agree with IOhannes. Someone may need a bugfix for their concert next week and they are positively surprised by getting this bugfix just
in
time, while being negatively surprised by the regression during their performance. Signalling big changes by version number is a good thing.
Not every user read the release info or changelog, as to most this is unintelligable gibberish (What exactly does "rework of GUI code" mean to
an
end user?)
