Subject: [ros-dev] ReactOS SVN version naming

Hi guys,

I would like to understand what’s the rationale behind changing the ReactOS trunk version from “0.4-SVN” to “0.5-SVN” (see revision 70818) whereas we have just started to release ROS 0.4.0 only?

Thanks in advance for your explanations!

Cheers,

Hermès.
