Well, if you're gonna go to the Linux numbering scheme it might be better off to simply skip 3.1 and move to 3.2 as the first stable 3.x release, that way you can get on track quicker and keep the stable releases even... 3.0 - betas 3.1 - skipped 3.2 - First stable release, basically 3.0.x fully debugged 3.[3,5,7] - future development releases in 3.x family 3.[4,6,8] - future stable releases in 3.x family 3.9.x - Version 4.0 development 4.0 - First stable 4.0 release Regards, Peter -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
