Hi,

I want to clarify the version numbers I am using for org-mode.  Some  
of this system
was used already in the past, but in the future I will implement it  
more rigorously:



Major releases have version numbers like 6.12.

Small cleanup-releases quickly after a major release will be 6.12a,  
6.12b, ...

During the development period between two releases, the version number  
will
look like this: 6.12trans.  That means this is after 6.12x.

In the run-up to a release, version numbers will be like 6.13pre01.   
During
this time I am trying to avoid new features, only polishing and  
documenting
what is there.

Note that most of these version numbers uniquely identify a version.   
However,
the "trans" version numbers applies to many different steps, and  
during this time,
the only way to uniquely identify the version you are using is through  
the
sha1 of the git commit.
