When did Chimera hit 0.7?

gobble gobble

I downloaded the nightly from March 1 and noticed that the release notes were titled 0.7, yet the 'About Navigator' menu pulldown still says 0.6 as does the webpage. Is this related to the Chimera name battle? Did I miss something here?

That just means the official 0.7 release isn't out yet, they did the same before 0.6.

Like every other component of the app, the text file containing the release notes gets updated at some time *before* the actual official version is released. It really doesn't mean anything except that the developers are working towards that release and are probably near ready for it. When the official 0.7 version is released, the details will be posted at Chimera's home page:

Usually when you go to "about navigator" or the splash screen it will have the updated version number before the website as well. weird...

Interesting! I just d/l the nightly build and noticed that the release notes is 0.7 with the modified date of Feb. 5, 2003.



The string is still listed as 0.6

Looks like they rather stick with 0.6 build.

Not weird at all. The nightly builds are generated automatically. Whenever they're close to a release - and they thought they'd be - , they increase the version number.
