			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,<br />the DriverPacks version is used for nightlies, but I agree about making it obvious that it is a nightly or testpack.</p><p>We know that 8029 is higher than 80211 and I most often cannot use the date.<br />These last few days I put together more than one testpacks in the same day, and I was going to use 8029A_txt after 8029_txt. (You should know we finally discovered why we was getting file-not-found reports when nothing looked wrong.)</p><p>On main site, When the current release is 8022 the new release gets 8023.<br />It could be the file that was tested in a 8023A_nightly (or a 8023C_test_a_fix)<br />When the current release is 801 and the month is 02 all its 802??** Versions are nightlies or for testing a particular fix.<br />I figure people will know what they are when they download them, and I hope they keep the releases and betas downloads separate, and that they use copies.<br />You can save downloads from the nightlies FTP in a betas folder, and save released downloads in DP_REL (or whatever).</p><p>I will keep this in mind, though.<br />Hmmm.<br />What if it wasn&#039;t in the name when you downloaded it?<br />It is easy to rename if you want to.<br />Add _nightly or _test_for_the_milkman when you rename the pack.<br />I think people realise that _nightly and _test_txt have a different goal in mind.<br />We can test several theories and when we get feedback we look at it, and then a new nightly gets built using the things that we was told worked.<br />Thank you for helping us help you.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>all versions that exceed the format&nbsp; Y.MM.V are by definition nightlies. (IE over six characters is nightly)<br />where <br />Y = year<br />MM = month<br />V&nbsp; = Version</p><p>this is a pre-existing convention <br />and it is possable many of the newer members may even be unaware of it.</p><p>so anything with a format of Y.MM.DD <br />where DD is the day of the month or a branch number and a version letter.</p><p>IE 8.01.1A or 8.01.21 would be nightlies.</p><p>and 8.01.2 would be the second official release in January of 2008</p>]]></description>
