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 ;)
