Hi Andrew,I hadn't seen this jewel before. Thanks for letting me know that the release numbering scheme is well-established and consistent.

Additionally a boolean beta flag exists, which when true causes the version string to be appended with the word 'beta' to indicate beta quality software." So, the first real release candidate would have both the third digit bumped to 1, the fourth digit zeroed out, and the beta flag set to false. So the first release off of 10.2 will be (at least) 10.2.1.0. If there's a formal beta period and Rick decides to make the beta 10.2.1.0, then the first real release candidate might be 10.2.1.1. That's up to him. :-) andrew
