I was actually aware that the naming is not in conformance with the dev guide, I apologize for that. I didn't like the alpha naming way in the guide. As Behdad has now added, it is necessary for packaging. Another release suggestion: I hope Arabeyes will establish some reference platforms for testing, say fedora core 1, debian sarge, etc. (Something like the Source Forge compile farm). So we can avoid errors that show up in some distros/releases early in the process. > Now that this has already been released this way, I would like to know > if others would like to make that change in the DevGuide. > I do. > Alpha relases would bare the major.minor version number plus the > snapshot date.

I mean beta releases are odd, stable releases are even, and release candidates are odd (per example). > On another note, MYousif has created a Slackware package for it, it > would be nice if this package is uploaded to the sf.net downloads area. > My pleasure.
