Well, I do like it. And -rc only means "release candidate", so you're not supposed to ever use that for the FreeBSD port. So if the latest version is a -rc version then that means you probably should wait a bit until it is turned into a real release. > Why don't we name a release 0.3.0, make it public, That just happened. > fix errors for a > week, release 0.3.1, fix errors for next week then release 0.3.2, That's also the plan, although there is no weekly fixed schedule. > if > there are no errors add some features and release 0.3.3...

No. And Linux stopped using that stable/unstable numbering scheme a long long time ago BTW. > Is all these numbers really necessary? Does anybody have control over > these numbers? I think so. > What is more - a 0.3.0 release is available already on the download > page (openocd 0.3.0 November 4, 2009) - is it 0.3.0 already or still > the 0.3.0-rc0? If rc0 why it is named 0.3.0? :-( If advertised as 0.3.0 then there is a pretty good chance it is the true 0.3.0.
