This is how most software projects works (specially open source projects). Major, minor and patchlevel version numbers, and have been explained and suggested here for ages. At this point I would be happy if we only get minor releases from time to time fixing only regressions and critical/security bugs that can't wait for a next release. -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can try the best you can If you try the best you can The best you can is good enough
