Just wanted to point out a potential downside.. if anyone does version number parsing & expects numeric fields throughout, their code will likely barf on this. What I do for a different project is call the non-released code "master" (or "head") and then the version number parser checks for that special string first before assuming it's a released version & doing the numeric parsing. -- Maurice LeBrun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
