To be frank even I was myself confused with this naming system,I installed
aplha2 and i was left wondering that I had installed the wrong version.Beta1
should be Beta 1 and so on IMHO because a new users might find it confusing
when they download say beta 2 and after that it shows 1.9x something.

<br>
as I&#39;ve already stated numerous times on IRC, I&#39;m really unhappy with<br>
the new versioning system that we&#39;ve started to deploy in Amarok 2,<br>
e.g.<br>
<br>
beta1 = 1.90<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve just talked to another user who got confused by this, and this<br>
was probably the 10th time already that this happened. The old system,<br>
which we have been using very successfully for about 4 years, was<br>
simply<br>
<br>
beta1 = beta1<br>
<br>
All was fine with that system. So, if there is no compelling reason<br>
against it, I would like to switch back to the old system ASAP.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
