Hallo, Peter!

Then why did the beta versions report 2.99?

I think the reason for the strange version numbering scheme (20.30) is that
too many code relies on _osmajor==20 (instead of >=) to distinguish 2.x
from 1.x.

Any suggestions yet what merlin will look like to programmers? Will it be 20.40?


Tschau...Thomas
