Will check that. > what i wonder if its also the same for the dot/hyphen change and need revert 3.8 and 3.9 so the fix is only on 4.0 (the more i think the more i'm tempted to say yes) Why? The docs say: else ".qualifier" = "-qualifier" < "-number" < ".number" so `.X` and `-X` are equal and this is what your fix does. It aligns an inconsistency with the specs/docs. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
