The people who have installed the dev snapshot should expect these things to happen :-) I don't particularly care about those. I do care about the people who have installed previous versions. The client library have been available for a long time with this version numbering scheme. My vote is for sticking witht he 7.5.x etc version numbering for the win32 binaries. I think it's easiest, and that's what win32 programs generally do. And we can then continue the practice of not bumping version numbers of the unix shared libs until such a time we might want to change that behaviour (it might not even be necessary ever..). //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
