We can first follow the upstream beta version numbers (beta1, 2...) and
when it goes to RC or final we can continue with beta numbers in Windows
release. I don't think it's too confusing.

There is only one problem: when to change the Win version to final? In
my opinion we should have enough positive test reports from Windows XP,
Vista and 7. It's time to install BibleTime for all your relatives,
friends and enemies. I also repeat: we should - no, we MUST - use the
Testing wiki page to get at least some coverage for tests. Casual "I can
install and read a Bible, it works for me" isn't enough.
