Whats the current version of (Open Source) Erlang?
R12B-1 (“Release 12B, patchlevel 1”) was released in February 2008. As further patches are released, the “current” version becomes R12B-2, R12B-3 etc. This curious version numbering scheme is also used on Ericsson mobile phones, for instance my phone is an R1F phone… The next major release is expected to be R13. Major releases typically come somewhere between six and twelve months apart. Components of Erlang have their own version numbers, for instance the virtual machine in R7B-0 has version 5.0.1 (yes, this is a bit confusing; see also).
