You missed my point. I am asking you, what is the purpose of "early access"? Can you not simply say "version 1.4.1.25 is the early access build"?
I simply do not believe in using "early access" or "release candidate" as components of the version tag itself. To me, these identifiers are orthogonal to the versioning itself. I retain the right to be proven otherwise. Wayne On 3/16/08, Sahoo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How else would one qualify a build as "early access?"
