It is not being renamed 3.20 it is being renamed 3.2. With single
digits supposed to be the stable release steps.

Consecutive releases will be/have been 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3, etc. When
the 3.2.x series gets where we want, we'll call it 3.3. And then move
on to 3.3.1, 3.3.2,3.3.3, ... 3.3.47 if need be.

This seems to be a good compromise between the need for stable and
cutting edge releases, and trying to maintain multiple versions.

The other option is to simply have a link on the downloads page to the
"Last recommended stable release" and skin with any renumbering.
That's just as easy and accomplishes the same thing. But I've kind of
grown attached to the new notation as it displays the different
between stable and cutting edge more clearly.  Any arguments one way
or the other?

Yes it is confusing. I should unzip 3.18, change the number and rezip
up to 3.2. I should also patch the security hole in 3.2, as right now
it is not really a recommendable release. But I'm quite busy trying to
get 3.2.xx up to speed. Getting there, but not there yet. More worried
about a 3.3 than 3.2. I'm not very backward looking!  :)

Dan
