(I'm sure there's a good reason, I just don't know what it is). I'm thinking about a user who is using an old version of Gradle. All of our announcements use symbolic version numbers, which don't work over time. If the user hits an announcement via google when searching for an old version, the links won't work. Well, they work, but they no longer point to the info the user is looking for. > > > -- > Adam Murdoch > Gradle Co-founder > http://www.gradle.org > VP of Engineering, Gradleware Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting > http://www.gradleware.com > > Join us at the Gradle Summit 2013, June 13th and 14th in Santa Clara, CA: > http://www.gradlesummit.com >
