Some years ago Microsoft put out a very well thought out "best practices" document on version numbering. It covered these issues as well as others.<br><br>As a minimum the document would be well worth studying.<br>

</div>what i might suggest is going to a style of say N.X.Y with Y being a 4<br>
digit number<br>
so we could do a bug fix version as 0.7.0010 which would be replaced<br>
by say 0.7.0020 which would be replaced by say 0.7.0040 ect<br>
<br>
personally i am all for having a bin release any time a nontrivial bug<br>
gets fixed.<br>
