I concur with your explanation. When 3.7.1 came out, I queried Nokia on what
the difference was between 3.7 and 3.7.1. They really couldn't answer it.
From the notes, it appeared that all it did was include some new drivers for
newer hardware and they continued to maintain the two code bases. This may
be a concession to their users who can easily go to new builds but might
have a political problem going to a new version, even if it is just a .1
release.
Wasn't 3.8 required for R55P? I guess 3.9 for NGX is supposed to be out
within a month.

hi,
this is not official but what I have seen within the last years:
new major-release (ipso 2 -> ipso 3):
very big changes
new minor-release (ipso 3.7 -> ipso 3.8):
new features
new sub-release (ipso 3.8 -> ipso 3.8.1):
new drivers, no new "features", just changes in existing features
support for new version of software (fw1)
new build (ipso 3.8.1 build 13 -> ipso 3.8.1 build 15):
bug fixes
normally you install new ipso-versions because because
* you need the new features
* the new fw1-version requires this ipso-version
* a behavior that you don't like is changed there
cheers

I am not interested in know what are the new features in 3.8.1 or in any
other IPSO code. I am interested in knowing why there is 3.8 also 3.8.1.
For example, what 3.x means and what 3.x.1 means. In the other way, in
cisco code which I know, they have 12.2, also 12.2.xT. The former is a GD
code, the later is a testing code.
Hope I make myself clear this time.
