I was just thinking the same thing. Relabeling the 1.3 as 1.5 gives us the option to do an interim minor release and have something to call it even if the decision to actually prepare a release to occupy that number was deferred. And it also preserves the big 2.0 for bigger changes (so lo

One use case for this would be to force roll-over of files at particular times. However, if that is the only use case there might be simpler approach within the RFA framework. Could you elaborate on other use cases that you are wanting to support? On May 6, 2005, at 2:32 PM, Glen wrote: Hi All,
