Hello.

I had been wondering about this for awhile and it came to a head tonight 
as Garth prepared a Mixxx release to support the Herc driver...

I always thought version numbers go like this: Major.minor.bugfix/maint

Which would mean the MIDI scripting & learning really belongs in v1.7 
rather than 1.6.2. (This would've left 1.6.2 free for a Herc release. 
Now it's gotta be called 1.6.1+Herc or 1.6.1.1 or something equally 
nutty.) Then looping and such would go in 1.8, leaving 1.7.x free for 
bug fix releases.

If you're worried about running out of numbers, there's nothing wrong 
with 1.10, 1.11, etc. if needed. (Though if we want to prepare for this, 
it helps to use leading zeroes for the single digit minor versions e.g. 
1.05, 1.06, 1.06.01 to avoid confusion if we cross 10.)

So I propose to move to this model, and rename what's currently slated 
1.6.2 to 1.7.0, and current 1.6.3 to 1.8.0.

Thoughts? Ideas? Rotten tomatoes?

Sean
