If making an official release is more time consuming for whatever reason I think continuing to have unofficial intermediate versions would be a good idea. > eventually become the official version 3.1.6. I hope this will appear over Wouldn't it possibly make more sense to call the next official development release version 3.9.0, working towards a stable version 4.0. The 20 pws releases are quite a substantial advance from 3.1.5 and it would make sense for this to be clearer in the version numbering. Also, I would have thought that the 3.1 advances over 3.0 are approaching being sufficient for the major version number change? I wasn't on the mailing lists before version 3 so don't really know how these things are normally decided or how much of a change to zsh previously warranted a major version number change so sorry if this is a stupid suggestion.
