Yes, it comes pretty close to being *one*, but not the only one. ;-) I must admit, I dislike this numbering system. 3.2 is lower than 3.13? No, not for me... >> The only international standard which implies user-friendliness is to >> have consistency. > The example of Microsoft Windows comes to mind.

I'm sure I didn't get this paragraph right, but when you speak abut Windows and marketing versioning, I think of some "aliases" as Win XP stands for NT5.1 TB! has never had anything like that, so numbering would also be consistent if they drop a v4.00 after v3.74. I just feel Rit should know whether they use two or three dots, use a, b or rc to categorize alpha, beta and release candidates, use names as "Pre-Beta", "Pre-Release" or something curious like "Return", "Rush" or "Pranayama". >> But the system should proof that each TB! user could determine which >> version is the newest and why it's like that. > Right. And also what follows on a beta series (as Alexander rightly > mentioned). Yep, that's what I think too. >> Now I've had the time of my life.... No I never felt like this before. > > Oh my!
