Version confusion
I am using Drupal 5.12. It is the version available on the Download page. Lately, I have seen reference to a 5.2 version at various places on the Drupal site. Is this a typo? Or are their updates that I am missing? Bob

Hi Bob, That is a tricky thing. Version numbers use the decimal as a separator, not an indication of a fraction of a unit. It's more "Version 5 Subversion 2" than it is "Version 5 and 2/10ths." So, "Version 5 Subversion 12" is greater than "Version 5 Subversion 2." Maybe you could add something about this to http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info Regards, Greg -- Greg Knaddison http://knaddison.com | 303-800-5623 | http://growingventuresolutions.com
Ah! Enlightenment! In some quarters, where the convention is used,5.1.2 would the lesser version. On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 4:56 PM, Greg Knaddison < Greg@growingventuresolutions.com> wrote:
