Why worry?
When I release a new version of my Devawriter Pro I think of a number,
multiply it by 3.3 recurring, subtract 7 and claim it
was all the result of a mystical experience, and, so far, no one has
complained.
With the shining examples of Microsoft . . . as a kid said to me the
other day: "How come that boy has just been given an old laptop by his
Granddad that is running Windows 95 when mine only runs Windows 10?"
and Apple:
System 6, 7, 8, 9 and then "10" (whoops 'X') for the last 15 years,
nobody should let seemingly illogical numbering systems fuss them.
After all . . . 8.1.6 comes AFTER 8.1.5, and DP-8 comes AFTER DP-7, and
RC-3 comes AFTER RC-2;
which IS better than Windows 1, 2, 3, 95, 98, ME, Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10
[may have left out some there] in
so many ways I cannot list them.
When is Apple going to release System 11, if ever?

Why are we testing a new feature in a RELEASE CANDIDATE version #2?
Why are significant features being added at all to the 8.x branch?
What standard (if any) do Livecode version numbers follow?
I was wondering along the same lines. I have previously been assured
that new "features" don't get rolled into release candidate builds,
and the only changes in successive rc builds are things that caused
regression failures in earlier builds. It seems that this policy has
now changed to allow for changes to see how new users will react.
