</div>It depends on your perspective. Software versions aren't ordered<br>
the same way that floating point decimals are. We went through<br>

It's always guesswork to figure out if a .9 is higher than a .52 (which is definately higher than a .5 in any case) and if a .100 would be called a 1.00 or is actually a .100. Gnome follows this to ridiculous levels sometimes.<br>
