This idea was discussed a year or two ago, and it was agreed then that applications would keep their own version numbering, if desired. The KDE Applications version is simply a date indication. It's very useful, for developers who want it, to be able to have an individual application version which has a meaning in functional terms. I strongly disagree with this proposal to change version numbers. -- David Jarvie KAlarm author, KDE developer http://www.astrojar.org.uk/kalarm
