Revision  #0035

[Renegade]

I not do it because ONLY I want it,
I do it because I have an idea

Dude. You're slowing, even holding progress on a community effort here. So if your seemingly purely stubborn persistence to hang onto this annoying and unwanted new naming scheme has any deeper reason, then share it now - because I rather doubt Marsh is gonna push back his launcher another six months until you finally decide to show us in RP 1.08 TFE (twenty-fifth edition) why you needed string version names so desperately.

We're very grateful for your coding, and, since our very motivation for modding is (re-)design, we're understanding when it comes to CoolStuff™ - but you're not gonna keep us as happy fanboys by annoying us to death with your weird antics.

Before, it was 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, ..., with the occasional b or c bugfix version. Now it's 1.08, 1.08 SE, 1.08 TE, 1.08 FE, ..., with a weekly Revision #xyz - in other words, you released what? four? five? versions so far, but still haven't moved the version number a single bit up. It's confusing the hell out of everybody.

And as if that wasn't bad enough, people don't even know about it. Hadn't I updated the original 1.08 SE thread at PPM every once in a while, and force-moved the latest revision thread into the news, people would still think the original 1.08 SE was the latest version of RP.

Marsh has a working, tried-and-true algorithm that works with all his stuff, all prior RockPatch versions, and uses a community-wide accepted version numbering format. If you want him to change all that just for your Great Confusing Version Renaming Plan, you better give him a damn good reason. ASAP. 'cause as much as we love your work, it's no good for any of us if we can't work with it. Mentally or technically.

Sorry if I'm walking a thin line here, guys, but somebody had to say it. This can't go on forever.
