They just mirror the version string in src/version.c. Since the 1.10 branch only contains bug fixes, the 1.10.1 release is in a perpetual "beta", and will be released when enough bug fixes accumulate, enough time passes, or a very important bug crops up -- whichever happens first. (The --no-cookies crash fixed in revision 1737 is very close to qualifying as an important bug.) The above should not be construed to mean that I consider 1.10.1-beta to be a good version number, it just explains the thought process behind it. If anyone can think of something that makes more sense, we're open to suggestions.
