here's the suggestion I think from the old thread. >* "dev" should be moved to a "main"*>* release type sorted before an alpha, >and to take it's place as a pre release*>* modifier **perhaps something like >"pre" can be used instead (e.g. "0.1.pre1").* i.e 1.0dev1 < 1.0a1 < 1.0.pre1 to be clear, "dev" and "pre" here aren't at the same "level" and have different purposes.
