Re: Test release: 5.7.1-test-1



I've tended to put the final details in release documentation for test
releases so that people can check it before the release.  Otherwise it's
easy to miss something at the last minute, and then it's too late.

The only crucial issue with release numbers is that in X.Y.Z-blah-N the
N should increment before the Z, the Z before the Y, the Y before the X,
so that it's always clear what order they come in, and the text in
"-blah-" isn't important because there's no obvious way to guarantee
ordering.  Typically -dev-0 has been used to indicate a non-released
build following X.Y.Z. so the next test release would be X.Y.X-test-1,
and the release probably X.Y+1.
