We're reproducing the following discussion: http://markmail.org/thread/o73bu7mo2tqnrv2p
I don't really have a strong opinion on release names but I should point out that: 1.

Hence the original 1.3.1 proposition :) Matthieu On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 8:54 AM, Assaf Arkin <ar...@intalio.com> wrote: > On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 8:43 AM, Alex Boisvert <boisv...@intalio.com>wrote: > >> The confusion comes from the fact that we pseudo-released 1.3.
