Great work everyone,

Hi Lukas,

Quoted 4 lines

Alejandro, is the version number correct? I would expect the 6.07 version since the last one was 6.06. Or did something big change, which made you change the numbering?

I never liked the .0X too much. Since version strings use pseudo-numeric sorting, the 0 should be superfluous. And in the last release, 6.06, someone confused it while writing, and wrote 6.60. That's what convinced me of simplifying, although I already didn't like it too much. I hope this doesn't break anything downstream.

Thank you for the answer

Thank you for asking. :)

Have a lovely day!
Alex
