t's different in
Release 43 pre 1
Release 43 pre 2
Release 43 pre 3
Release 43 pre 4
... whatever it takes...
Release 43
Release 43 Build 2
Release 43 Build 3
...
????
And
0.7.X
0.7.X+n...
whatever it takes...
0.8.0 (release marked as stable beta by the 0 and the even number 8)
0.8.1 (bug fix for bet 0.8)
Here's the cue:
Although simpler to use, the first case ONLY shows a prograssive development.
The usual numbering scheme shows progressive developement AND release status.
Also, please sign the releases, it's not hard, and very important.
