In the past we have never announced beta versions in the users list. This sort of announcement tries to be a compromise. Since we are in the beta stage I think that such system would be an overkill. I don't think that we should go over a second nested level of releases, it is not worth it. Last year, regarding the release of 1.4.5.1 I have nested one further level the release and your opinion was that we (I for this matter) should have gone to the next available release, 1.4.6. In retrospective I agree with you and I think that the numbering scheme should be kept as simple as possible. I think that we should follow the same scheme for the stable release, we should release several release candidates until the moment where we we decree the rcn (where n is a natural number) is 1.6.0 without any further changes. > JMarc -- José Abílio
