I didn't notice it the first time I read this email, but today I have
some points of disagreement with the new numbers for the next gambas
release.
I wouldn't like to see gbx, gbx2,gbx3 and so on in the following
releases. Or if they exist, I think at least there should be a diversion
with soft links from gbx to the gbxN the users wants, as it happens with
gcc.
Because.. projects made with the actual gambas version will run with the
new runtime, won't them?. In that case, these projects search gbx to
run, no gbx2. The same thing with compilation and so on...
I really don't see the need to rename the next release. As it is not a
production release, whoever desires to use it must know it is not safe,
and when it is ready for production it could replace without any problem
the actual release. 

Regards.
