I can see the merits of a revised versioning system, however the current versioning system works, it isn't broken. As I see it, the version numbering problem stems from the wide spread release of too many unstable versions. A simpler solution may be to not release the odd number versions to everyone as these seem to be raising the issues discussed. Instead list the odd number versions in a separate menu/list not readily visible to the seeker and just list the 2 latest working versions, the one that works and the new release even number version for those willing to experiment. If a seeker wants to get into more depth in experimentation a simple message to the list could direct them to unstable versions. I would agree that sub versions after 10 could step up into the next stable branch. Roger
