Up to you, > guys... Well, not really good reason to me.. :-) We are more look at the end user, why should they (include we) compile Mozilla Firebird again if there's no function change? It takes a quiet while to compile. For example, I didn't update the Neverball to 1.0.0, which I just keep 0.25.12 since the author has decided to make a huge bump the version (renamed) without change anything in code. But, I will bump the version later thought or wait until next 1.x.x with the code change. Cheers, Mezz > -mi -- bsdforums.org 's moderator, mezz.
