Richard, there is still one thing that is a bit confusing.
Usually subversion with a a, b, c index are very minor version with very
little change, and it's unusual to have a beta release for such a minor
release.
Most people would do 0.9.6a directly, and switch to 0.9.6b if anything
needs to be changed, then 0.9.6c ...
I think something similar to the linux kernel naming, like 0.9.6a-pre1,
0.9.6a-pre2, 0.9.6a-pre3 would be more explicit.
(I just checked and found out the naming scheme for the pre-release was
different for each of the 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 pre-release :-) .
It does not seem easy to find the ideal naming for pre-releases ...)
