Re: gEDA-dev: gEDA/gaf stable version 1.0.1-20070626 released!

[Bert Timmerman <bert.timmerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Maybe using the "yyyymmdd_major.minor.micro" notation for stable
releases and the "yyyymmdd" notation for (unstable) snapshots ?.

I don't know if the underscore is going to be causing problems I haven't
thought of yet.

I guess this discussion is just about the ordering of characters ;)

Just my EUR 0.02

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
