Well, I think it was in the _README file that it still says 0.6.1b1 or something, and I do remember seeing other indications of old releases in previous releases - in some parts of 0.6 there were references to 0.5, I think. >It makes cutting a release much more difficult (and obviously >despite my efforts I didn't catch some of the release numbers when I cut >0.7b1), and just confuses people. I honestly can't remember any time when >someone on the mailing list actually referred to, for example, the MiddleKit >release number. This would be "doing a KDE" and saying that various major components share the same release number, although Konqueror is an essential part of KDE whereas MiddleKit isn't exactly essential in Webware. WebKit is Webware's equivalent of Konqueror, as far as I can see. >Why not axe all of the separate release numbers and just give the entirety >of Webware one release number? It's surely tempting to reduce Webware down to only the things which can share the same release number, and then to offer "batteries included" packages which can change more fluidly, if necessary.
