I don't think you understand software versions. They're versions made, not released. It's pointless to release a new version if you need to make alterations for it not to be broken.I realy do not undestend dev who can not get version for projects...
Serious, if prev ver be 0.8.2b, when why, why i ask next ver is 0.8.3c?
It means Dev already have 0.8.3a and 0.8.3b, but not relezed, just only for self? O_O
