Think harder. The point is that if a Release Candidate build is determined to be good *enough* to be released, the *exact* *same* *bits* will become the release then instead. Just the names of the download directories, downloadable file, etc are changed as necessary. So if the Help:About would say RC2, and RC2 would be turned into a release, then the release would also say RC2. Which would be confusing, wouldn't it? This said, sure, we (developers) are well aware that the information in the Help:About dialog is less useful than it could be. The mention of OOo "master workspace" names and "milestones" (the "OOO340m1") is becoming more and more meaningless. Also the "build number" is mostly pointless, one version number corresponding to our tarball release number should be enough. --tml -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
