Hello Peter, I can only answer some of your questions, but I hope that this helps you at least some:

I _think_ that dr means developer release, but am not sure. > Another bug said it was fixed in 680m74s1 and I guess that is different > than my 1.9.74. See [1]. (680)m74 is the same as 1.9.74, so m74s1 (which was not released publically) is just a little different from your 1.9.74. > Another issue says "fixed in CWS extras17." Can I tell from that when > something will be fixed. Not just by looking at the name. CWS are so-called Child Workspaces. The best I can say is to go to [2] and click the link Release Notes (currently pointing to [3]). That document contains a list "Integrated Child Workspaces" which shows the CWSs integrated in that milestone. > Also, what do all the periods mean in an issue. When changing the status of an issue, one has to add a comment. If one wants to quickly change the status without any hassle, common practice is/has become to use a . as the message. > If there is a document that explains all of this, I will gladly read it, > I am just not sure where to start looking. I'd like to find a document about the various versions as well, but I think that even the developers themselves might not always know which version would become which.
