The "+0.1" and "+1.0" are not quantities, just ordered uniquifiers. Unless we break backwards compatibility or essentially establish a new language like we did with 4.0 and 5.0, I see no reason to skip minor version numbers. To me, version increments are +0.0.1, +0.1, or +1; there's not a whole lot of call for jumping by 2s or 5s or whatever. If we do want an intermediate state, just add another digit in the middle. --Carl _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
