Not that I know of. > If not, should we add serial numbers to those files? Yes, please. Please do a rough check of history, in case they used to have a serial number at one time. Pick one that is higher than that. If master and branch-1.11 have different versions of files, master should have its serial bumped by a few, let's say five at least, so we don't run into trouble when we update 1.11. Patches against active branches preapproved. Thanks, Ralf
