You released Emdros version 1.2.0.pre262, and then the next public release was Version 3.0.0. What happened to version 2?
The 1.2.0.preXX series started as a branch off of version 1.1. This was in 2004. It was a series of “previews” that ran to version 1.2.0.pre269 — that is two hundred and sixty nine (269!) previews. Almost four (4!) years later, in 2008, I finally decided enough was enough: I really ought to get my act together and make a real, non-preview release, since the code had been stable for a very long time, and the “preview” label wasn’t winning any users. By January 2008, the code had evolved so much since version 1.1 from which the “1.2.0.preXX” series was branched, that a bump in — not one but — two major version numbers was merited. Version 2.0.0 did happen, though — it was just an internal, non-public release.
