Stop releasing different build under same version label

[xerces8]

Please don't release different versions labeled with the same version number.

That defies the very purpose of version numbers.

Thanks,
David

No. Versions numbering is source numbering.

[xerces8]

That does not change the fact that there are two releases both named vlc-0.9.6-win32.exe, but different.

With the same functionnalities.
A broken build is a broken build.

Different versions come from different source == different functionnalities.

You don't like it, ok.

Alex: "Hey, Joe, do you have the latest VLC ? The last one had broken FLV playback".
Joe: "I have 0.9.6"
Alex: "OK, that one is good."
Joe: "Argh, it does not work."
Alex: "You should install version 0.9.6"
Joe: "But I just did"
Alex: "gusnark..."

But hey, it is your SW. (and you are not the only one pulling this trick)

I am not stupid, I know the issue.

Changing a version number is just a bit more than changing the package numbering.
