Personally, I think a big build up to an oddball version number like 1.99.5
is a little strange, but again, I'm not so hung up on version numbers as
long as they keep increasing. It would also be odd to backtrack since the
point of version numbers is to distinguish releases in some logical order.
I had in my mind that there would be a 1.99.x release sequence as a build up
to a major v2.0 release (rather than 1.99.5-rcX building up to a v1.99.5
release.) So there are some crossed wires here that unfortunately is
leading to a weird version number situation.
In the meantime, I have been working on a script that will streamline the
release process a bit. My hope is to start doing more frequent source
releases once this major release is pushed out the door.
Regards,
Curt.
