Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] OpenSSL 0.9.6a Beta 3 released

mlist> uhh, the 'a' on the version can be very deceiving.
mlist> it denotes an alpha version of the version number stated.

I'm sorry, it does not.  There are no such rules, except some people
may do so (I have never before seen that definition).  OUR definition
is that the letter is a patch level (this has been quite common
before, when did this change???).

Please read the comments in crypto/opensslv.h for the exact way the
version number and number text are currently defined.

mlist> From the email, it doesn't seem this is what you wish to convey.
mlist> It should either be 0.9.7a or 0.9.6pl1 or something like that.

You seem to be missing that in the distribution file name as well as
in the version text, there is the word "beta3".  I have a hard time
understanding how the meaning of that can be unclear...
