We have discussed this before, and to the average user, our "current" scheme where the cvs version to be released as 21.4 is named 21.3.50 is also very confusing. I would much rather like to see some descriptive text in there, e.g. 22.1.DEV 22.1.PRE-1 22.1.PRE-2 etc. when working towards a release 22.1 Subsequent bug fixes could be named 22.1-1 So we could have 22.1-1.DEV 22.1-1.PRE-1 etc. WDYT? -- Kim F.
