90 percent of statistics don't contain a 0 either! Whoops... Jokes aside, I was answering some wine related question on Ubuntuforums.org and came across this, many light users tend to do it. I even thought of it that way when I first learned about the common linux versioning system. I don't think there is anything we can do about it but educate users. And correct them when they do this, maybe on the main download info page for repos and such say outright it's important. Thinks like that. Maybe on some kind of getting support page or the future wine help talk about how it's important. even after 1.0 we'll be hitting this again too unless you do major revisions and reworking it will always be 1.XX.XX so... they need to get with it somehow. Just a users POV.

Maybe this would be unworkable in git or whatnot but perhaps always making the minor version field double digit would do the trick?
How about we make the next version Wine 0.9.99.01?
Or how about we make the next version 1.0 ;)
I think 0.9.31 will have removed this confusion again.
Ciao, Marcus
Except maybe that 0.9.4 might be thought of as higher than 0.9.31
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
