Otherwise it's easy to miss something at the last minute, and then it's too late. The only crucial issue with release numbers is that in X.Y.Z-blah-N the N should increment before the Z, the Z before the Y, the Y before the X, so that it's always clear what order they come in, and the text in "-blah-" isn't important because there's no obvious way to guarantee ordering. Typically -dev-0 has been used to indicate a non-released build following X.Y.Z. so the next test release would be X.Y.X-test-1, and the release probably X.Y+1. pws
