Ooops. There is already version 3.4 of Axiom. Very interesting. ;-)

I think Tim has defined at least axiom version 3.6 ((June 2005). See:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/axiom/axiom
Even more interesting. Since I see September 2006 on my banner (which is
--patch-50), that should probably be something > 3.6.
No, quarterly gold releases in 2005 was numbered 3.4 (April 2005),
3.6 (June 2005), 3.9 (October 2005). In 2006 this numbering
scheme was abolished.
I watch this Axiom Version discussion with moderate interest.
Moderate since I already (twice AFAIR) suggested on this list
to choose some release numbering scheme convenient for
packaging (deb, rpm whatever) but found no understanding.
Surely, packaging is a nuisance external to Axiom but
it is not wise to ignore this aspect of real life.
Once again I venture to suggest two things
1. Please, make regular _tarball_ releases.
No CVS, SVN etc - these are for development not for releases.
2. Choose some X.Y.Z... numbering scheme
for these releases.
Absence of 1 and 2 hurts Axiom publicity.
With best regards,
Vadim
