I also thought about this. I propose to add another minor version number: Let us set it to 5.11.1 now. After the release of Emacs 21.4, increase it again to 5.11.2 and so on, so that each Emacs release also has a different Gnus version (unless there are no changes in the Gnus code and manuals, maybe). Rationale: In Emacs 21.1-21.3 all Gnus versions had 5.9 although the Gnus version had significant differences. E.g. `mm-coding-system-priorities' has been introduced in Emacs 21.2. I don't remember how often I typed "if you have Gnus 5.9 that comes with Emacs 21.2 or later you can set `mm-coding-system-priorities' ...". Additionally, each time a new Emacs version is released, we could release an unbundled Gnus version from the Gnus v5-10 branch. Assuming that Gnus in Emacs' CVS and the Gnus v5-10 branch in sync, of course. Lars, WDYT? Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
