Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.1 Cancelled

geekwithsoul writes "mozillaZine is reporting that the Mozilla Thunderbird 1.01 release is cancelled. While they just released 1.01 of Firefox and intended to release an updated Mozilla Suite and 1.01 version of Thunderbird shortly thereafter, they've decided to address some additional issues and release ver. 1.02 of Firefox and Thunderbird 'soon.' The fixes will also be included in the Mozilla Suite 1.7.6 release. Ah, the joy of awkward numbering conventions!"

Ah, the joy of awkward numbering conventions!

I think people will adapt. I never hear anyone complain about Winamp 5.

Or about the Nvidia drivers' version numbers...
I think they're going to start using scientific notation for those numbers. :)

Would that be the Fibonacci versioning system?

[oskard]

Especially when they say to themselves "I need a good Winamp Four-Skin"

[aichpvee]

Yeah, when they have Redhat 8 with Linux kernel 2.6.1 they just say, "I have Linux 8."

That sounds like a more fitting description of your mom than iTunes.

"Pi is exactly equal to 3!"
(gasps of horror)
"Sorry I had to do that, but now that I have your attention..."

That's one more, innit?

[Anonymous Coward]

"This release goes up to 1.02. That's one more, innit?"

"Why don't they just put the newer improvements and call it 1.01?"

(blank stare) "This release goes up to 1.02."

Version 3.0

[Nom du Keyboard]

If they want to make it comparable to a genuine, working Microsoft product, they should release the next one as Version 3.0.

And they can follow that with Version 6.0.

But that's irrational....

Thunderbird

[WaldoXX]

Most of us can live with out Thunderbird 1.01 and
wait for 1.02 but they better not delay on
FireFox with the new Gecko 1.8 engine!!@!!#@! :P

Version Numbering

[standsolid]

They can avoid this different-version numbering nonsense if they finally just integrate the FireFox Browser, Thunderbird Mail and Sunbird Calendar into one integrated cohesive suite.

That would be flippin' sweet!

vcard?

[ErisCalmsme]

I'm still waiting for thunderbird to support vcard =/ Maybe one day http://vcard.mozdev.org/ will have some better news than " I had made some good progress long ago, but subsequently lost all the code in an accident, before having checked it in. "

Of course, this is a flaming flamebait

[ArgieNomad]

Thanks, Dan Brown, for bringing Fibonacci to the masses.

Not a single day without some "look ma, I'm smart! Fibonacciiiiiiiii!!" post on /.

Re:Confused

[Phisbut]

since it's just one number off in the third spot, I doubt anyone will really notice except us geeks...

True... My version of Internet Explorer is 6.0.2900... I don't think I've seen all 2900 versions (although with the large amount of Windows updates I've done since I have WinXP, maybe I *did* update it 2900 times...)
