Pd is the only software that I have ever seen that uses "-" to separate the minor version. Not only that, but the "-" is a very common separator used to add a package version to packages (like Debian, etc.). Pd's "-" causes problems there. I see no advantages to keeping the "0.39-3" format. You guys could use feet, inches, pounds and pints since you are working with Americans, but I think you'd rather use what the rest of the world uses: meters, grams, and liters. >> - I think we should probably also clean up the "pd-0.39-3", >> "pd-0.39-3-again", "pd-0.39-3-oncemore", , "pd-0.39-3-really" to >> be just the right 0.39.3. > > hmm, i don't know why these branches are named like that. > one could argue that the person who created them did so on purpose > (though probably not) "0.39.3" is not defined by the tag. The tag is instead marking the code that represents 0.39.3. If you read the commit comments, those tags are because there were problems.
