Thanks for your answer. I understand, but I find it weird that a same version number (like 8.2.4) gives different functionalities/fixes/patches according to the git branch you take the sources from. If I clone the master branch, I'll have version 8.2.4 with every patch. While if I download a version (or take it from elpa), I will also have version 8.2.4 --- but coming from the maint branch and thus with certain patches (not all). Shouldn't the maintenance branch keep the same version number until a new release is made (i.e. until the master branch is fully merged into the maint branch)? Maybe I'm wrong on certain points... any help on this is welcome. Best regards, Francesco
