There's no reason not to increment the version. You've made a release, and have made changes to that release. Whether it actually hits the archive is immaterial. You just build with the appropriate -v option, and you're done. Moreover, a new revision makes it easier for everyone to follow what had changed between a version which was reviewed by the ftpmasters and the next version that was uploaded. There's nothing magical about the -1 version number. Don Armstrong -- She was alot like starbucks.
