Re: Bump mainline version number


Hi Zack,

Ok, so you think that the branch that is about to be released ought to
be version 2.14.0 correct ?  And that the current CVS sources should
not have a version number at all, or if they do, it ought to be
something like "2.15.0 <today's-date>".  Is that right ?

Currently the CVS sources produce a version string of "2.15.90 20030506".
I believe that the origin of the .90 value was the assumption that the
patch level of a released branch would never reach 90, so it was safe
to use that in the development  sources.  ie avoiding any possible
conflict with the to-be-released-in-the-future 2.15 branch and any of
its patch releases.

Cheers
        Nick
