While chatting to Severed about the latest Siege I noticed that we are using an RC number, with NO version.

The chat went something like this.

Him: New version rc21
Me: Ok but what's the version?
Him: rc21.
Me: No that's a release candidate, what's the VERSION?
Him: rc21.
Me: No that's a release candidate, what's the VERSION number before it?
Him: There isn't one.

Then we went into the Monty Python Dead Parrot Sketch...

Well you get the idea. Anyway, the idea of a RC is that it is a pre-release before the stable version is released. The idea is to have a version too, even if it's 0.1!

EG: SiegeUltimate10RC3 or whatever. It does really make keeping track of versions much simpler.

Sorry I seem to have OCD about this stuff ;)

I just inherited the nomenclature anyways lel.
I'd rather use R1, R2, or Build_1, Build_2 on my stuff.

I know right, I was almost about to say... "who's on First ...." too... LOL

I'd like to dedicate this some to Higor.. since writing a game is KIND OF similar to writing a song.
