releases

[George <jirka@5z.com>]

1) I think we should number releases incrementally so not go from 0.5.0 to 0.5.5
but go 1-by-1, so it'd be 0.5.1.

2) Also hilaire could you announce a pending release a couple of days in
advance, in case there is some broken code or something that needs to be
fixed or other issues with a release.

3) Why are the files always ending with -current instead of the version
number.  I think it confuses people.  make distcheck already gives you a nice
filename why not use that and only make a soft link on the site to the newest
one with current.  Also there should be a way to download older releases.
Sometimes people can find bugs by looking at older releases to see when they
were introduced or people can revert to older versions if new versions are
broken.
