Good question. Normally, all version bumps (overall release version, library version numbers, etc.) occur as part of the release process (see README.Release_Manager_Cookbook). So the overall version bump to 5.9.3 should happen (according to Hazen's recent post) on Sunday. However, README.Release_Manager_Cookbook simply codifies the procedure we have used in the past, and I certainly think there is room for improvement since the current version number (5.9.2) in svn is not correct, but changing it to 5.9.3 would not be correct either until the release. One way to solve this issue is just after a release change the overall release version to something intermediate between the release number that was just done and the next release number to indicate we are preparing for the next release but we are not there yet. I am leaning toward something non-specific but still indicative that we are in the development stage between two releases such as "5.9.2+", but I am open to other suggestions as well. Andrew (as Debian packager) and Hazen (as PLplot release manager), what do you think is the best thing to do here? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
