No. On the Parrot Developer Summit the decision was made to use a major.minor versioning system, as explained in http://www.parrot.org/news/vision-for-1_0 > > Feb 0.9.1 > March 1.0.0 > April 1.0.1 > or April 1.1.0 if new feature (or incompatible change) > ... > July 1.5.0 > August 1.5.1 > or August 1.6.0 if new feature (or incompatible change) > ... > > In fact, we cannot predicate the version numbers (except x.0.0 and x.5.0). > As written in release_manager_guide.pod : > " Version numbers for each release will be determined each month, > and will depend on the features actually present in that release.

The release numbers after 1.0 will become more predictable. b.t.w. after re-reading I noticed that the 'skipping of the minor monthly release only happens once in the first 6 months, so I guess my email about this was a bit premature.. kjs
