Apparently people are getting confused by our version numbers with the SVN revisions...

[ULX]Megiddo: no
[ZS]VTEC: its on my server svn ulx beta

[ZS]VTEC: what the <censor>?
[ZS]VTEC: well i have it idk
[ZS]VTEC: it says 3.31

Perhaps dropping the version number completely and only keeping the SVN revision? This would not apply to the release version, of course.

I agree dropping the (probable release) version number from SVN would help, and think it is a good idea.
However, most have no earthly clue that SVN ~= release.
Even more probably don't care to learn. :/
