We have decided to abandon the "patchlevel" scheme. It wasn't a good idea. the next release will be 4.1, and so on. The idea of patchlevels was that, like X, we could have a major release occasionally, and just put patches out on cs.uiuc.edu. But perhaps epoch isnt big enough to need such a scheme (boy, can we fix that! :-). Our apologies to anyone who found the patchlevel system difficult, but it will be gone soon. -- Simon -- Simon Kaplan ConversationBuilder Project Human-Computer Interaction Lab Department of Computer Science kaplan@cs.uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign uiucdcs!kaplan@uunet.uu.net 1304 W.
