The finally tally for last week's vote is in. The next release of Tapestry, what's currently in CVS HEAD, will be Tapestry 4.0. So after all the talk of Tapestry 3.1, it's going to be a phantom. I hope to get a Tapestry 4.0-alpha-2 out soon as well (but need a stable HiveMind 1.1 alpha release first).
The numbering confusion is exactly why I'm pushing for the release naming experiment. What I've been calling "3.1" for so long is now going to be called, internally, "Picasso". This will give us the freedom to consistently discuss the code base before having to decide on a release number for it.
Other projects, such as Struts, work differently. After a release, they'll vote on its stability, and "grant" it final release status. So you might find that Struts 1.1.23 (or something) is the final release. I kind of like knowing that Tapestry 4.0 is the final, stable release for 4.0. Certainly, there'll be a 4.0.1 with bug fixes, and hopefully soon after that, a Tapestry Magritte (4.1) with more functionality. And having names is more fun than numbers.
