Hi Dyre, This part of our release process seems to trip up every new release manager and the instructions could use some improvement. My understanding of bumplastdigit is this: you run it after you generate a candidate and it sets up the release id for the next candidate. In any event, with or without bumping the last digit, option (C) produces a release id that looks good to me. Thanks, -Rick

No, to quote the document: Fixpack (f) of 0 (zero) is a special value that indicates alpha quality software and causes version string to be appended with the word alpha. Thus the third digit being 0 always marks the software as alpha, regardless of any setting of the beta flag, it overrides it. Dan.

Should I? And do I still need to update the master files if/when I do that? Dyre Hi Dyre, When you run sysinfo on the branch, what version number does it report? Thanks, -Rick 10.4.0.1 I believe... Dyre Hi Dyre, When I run sysinfo against the branch, it reports that the version id is 10.4.0.1 alpha - (635685). It think that you need to modify the 3rd digit in the release id. I believe that is the secret handshake which turns an alpha into a beta. Regards, -Rick
