Hello Jan and Ed,

Zitat von Jan Schneider <jan at horde.org>:
> Stable releases had actually been called final (as opposed to the  
> unstable release candidates), since long before I (being the German)  
> have been taking the role of the release master.

>> "Final" means "last" - as in the last one - there will not be any  
>> more. So, when you write
>> "The Horde Team is pleased to announce the final release of the  
>> Mnemo Note Manager version H5 (4.2.2)..." you are stating that  
>> there will not be any more releases, that this is the last and  
>> final release.
>>
>> Perhaps you mean to say the " latest release" or the "next release"  
>> or the "current release".

taking the role of the bean counter here (or devil's advocate?), I'd  
like to point out that the wording is actually correct: This *is* the  
latest (as in "no further") release of Mnemo Note Manager version H5  
(4.2.2). Future releases will carry a different version number. ;)

Best regards,
Jens
