The version numbering scheme was changed, including now a date stamp after the three numbers. This is reflected necessarily also at sourceforge. Otherwise the file names wouldn't be unique for a specific release. Example (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmol/files/Jmol/Version%2014.0/Version%2014.0.17/): Jmol-14.0.17_2014.06.11-full.tar.gz Jmol-14.0.17_2014.06.10-full.tar.gz Including a date stamp into a version numbering scheme is kind of a nightmare for people (like Peter) who have to keep track of new versions automatically because new version numbers become unpredictable. (I know what I am speaking of because we maintain a number of automatic updates from external databases used as data sources for our 3D structure database JenaLib. Finding new releases automatically can be such a pain!) I can see that it might be helpful for a developer to include a date stamp because it might make it easier not to mix up different versions. Especially if they are emerging very frequently. But besides the question if a date stamp should be part of a version numbering system, there is also another point: Is it really necessary to add a fourth level? Aren't three levels already a lot and already sufficient?
