That's because we did discuss it on the list when we made the change originally and it wasn't so long ago that it makes sense to change again at this point. It is true that is wasn't a particularly long discussion, but people had an opportunity to talk about it then (about 1.5 years ago) and it isn't broken enough (if it is broken at all) that we want to change it every year or so. At this point we have a clear version numbering scheme that allows you tell at a glance if a version you have is released or development (this is quite useful for bug reporting). It is a scheme that is used by other open source projects and so shouldn't be too unexpected for our users (Gnome uses this scheme for example). Obviously all this is just my opinion, E&OE, YMMV etc. Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:dev-subscr...@qpid.apache.org
