Brendan,
The 4 digit number would, in most products, be an internal build
number. The problem with Freenet is that we do extremely frequent
releases, and to distinguish between them requires a rather large
number :-)
We do also do infrequent major releases, like 0.7.5 - however in
practice there are many many intermediate releases.
I'm certainly wide open to ideas about an alternative nomenclature.
Ian.

Just curious, whom exactly does the 4 digit number benefit? Do users care about this number? And if so why? (Sorry if these are dumb questions. Just trying to wrap my head around the issue:)
