Howdy. I still feel very strongly that we should up the nmh version number
in the CVS source just after releasing each tarball, so that the version
numbers of the public releases really have an absolute meaning. Until now,
someone could report a bug against 1.0.1 and someone else could say "I can't
reproduce that bug" because they're running completely different versions of
1.0.1, at least one of them obtained via CVS.
Therefore, I've upped the VERSION to 1.0.3. Unfortunately Doug didn't do
this just after releasing the tarball, so there was a small window when
someone could have gotten a different 1.0.2 than most end-users have, but
hopefully no significant changes were made after 1.0.2 went public.
I like the Linux kernel number versioning system -- even for public releases
and odd for developer versions (which is a good mnemonic). Therefore, next
time we release a tarball, it should be version 1.0.4 (and then the VERSION
should be immediately upped to 1.0.5). Or it might be a higher version like
1.1.0; in any case, it should end with an even digit.
