The basic plan is that the third digit is reserved for bug fixes of a critical nature. 6.8.1 is functionally identical to 6.8.0, the only change was a bug fix in the Xpm libraries. When any functional changes are made, the second digit should be bumped. When 'the world' changes, the first digit should be bumped. What 'the world' means is debatable, especially as many systems have a lot of paths with 'X11R6' encoded in them. -keith _______________________________________________ release-wranglers mailing list [email protected] http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/release-wranglers
