Yay!

Did I miss a 7.0 release? Also why does 7.0.1rcX automatically become 7.1?

While I’m asking, why are we renaming 1.7 as 7.x?

No.  Apparently the next real release will be 7.1, and they're spelling
"7.1 release candidate 1" as "7.0.1".  I'm not sure what the thinking
is behind this odd numbering scheme.  It would be a whole lot easier to
understand if the first RC were 7.0rc1 and the first real release were
7.0.

Good question.  I look forward to hearing the answer.

All of this was already discussed in the 10/19/2016 email from Roland 
Dowdeswell email with the subject "Preparing for the Heimdal 7 Release".

I am more exited that there is work going on on a new release than I
am worried about the numbering now being 7.X instead of 1.7.X. As long
as the new number is bigger than the old one everything should be fine.

So it’s no longer possible to have non-numeric version numbers?

Please understand, I don’t really care. The new system is logical enough, even 
if unconventional. Just wondering what the actual reason was.

Non-numeric version numbers are not portable.
