Hi, I know I'm a newB/fool/troll, but then I simply get confused by all these versioning discussions It's sure 1000 times more discussion lines as code (don't beat me devs, just some more lines) 9 lines more :( it's a pity myself à+
bertrand, This actually *is* a coding discussion. I'm not sure all participants are aware, but PEAR/Validate.php will validate the version number against several factors including the state, package name, whether it extends another package, and so on. Not only that, but if Alan is right and I can't use 1.4.0a1, then I literally can't release 1.4.0a1 until I know which version number it is. So it is VERY much a coding discussion - you won't see any code from PEAR 1.4.0 until this is resolved. Greg
