No build is an official *release* until we've voted on it. This was a test *build* that was made available for people to test out so that they could have an informed opinion on what they would be voting on. The distinction is important - we don't build releases, we build builds; then we vote on whether a particular build should become a release. In this case, I agree with Ted (and I believe you ;) that we should roll the version number to 1.2.4. As you say, the version numbers are cheap. As for there being no shame - sure. 1.2.3 was only a test build, after all, and never released. ;-) That's why we have test builds. -- Martin Cooper > > I don't feel terribly strongly about this. > > Joe > -- > Joe Germuska > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://blog.germuska.com > "In fact, when I die, if I don't hear 'A Love Supreme,' I'll turn > back; I'll know I'm in the wrong place." > - Carlos Santana > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
