Hello,

I daily follow the forum (most without to login) and perhaps I missed some post. My silly and boring question is:
why the name of the final release will be 2008.1? (if I remember 1 being January).
I would expect 2008.X with X near 7. If I were unawere of U++ after seeing the announce "released new Upp 2008.1" after discovering the 1 is jabuary I could think that all the stuff were freezed back to january. It seems the release born already old. Instead, if I am not missed many posts, it includes all very recent changes and bug fixes.

Forgive me for wasting your time.

Luigi
