Hello pear-dev, It seems, that I've missed all the fun with version naming proposal. Now I see some interesting status convention - CVS commit in one package.xml from <version>1.2.0-dev</version> to <version>1.2.0dev</version> Can smb. quickly enlighten me on the matter, why joined-up writing style was chosen? I thought x.x.x is version and -letters suffix is package status? In natural language people often divide logical concepts by spaces to words, by liparagraphs and so on. Why to have preg_match("|\W+|i", $version); preg_match("|\w+|i", $version); instead of explode("-", $version); to get package version and it's status? t --
