14 May 2002: Server Downtime Planned for DNA 1.01 Upgrade
Mark Moxon Started conversation May 14, 2002
We're hoping to upgrade the site to DNA 1.01 in the next couple of weeks, which will require a few hours downtime. However the date hasn't yet been set in stone. We are currently looking at two possible days - Monday, 20 May or Thursday, 23 May - and we will confirm the actual date and time as soon as we can.
You can find out what's going to be in DNA 1.01 in the release notes at <./>Versions-DNA-1-01</.>.

Pheloxi, at least it doesn't use the Micr*soft numbering system...
"1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 2000..."

It was worse than than, Peet ....
Don't forget WFWG, 95a, 95b, 98SE, NT3.51, NT4.0 all with service packs and latest but by no means last, XP and all of those "hotfixes".

"why this 1.01 and not 2002.5?"
Because it's mainly under-the-bonnet stuff, and I figured calling it 1.1 would be overselling the number of user-centric features.
And because it's the name of my favourite online CD shop.

Tut tut. Should've gone down the route used by a lot of Linux programs - 1.0.1 rather than 1.01. Much better, I think...
And no, if you did do that you wouldn't have to adopt the convention that the second number being odd means it's an unstable development series. We know you only have those behind closed doors

Who does everything wrong.
Except, of course, for mice, keyboards and web-based e-mail.
