I did the opposite mistake and also did not do it so for me there is no revision number but only number. I guess that I will call next version movei0.09.000 I guess that I will not get rid of the first 0 until movei will be better than Ruffian1.00. Movei will probably need to promote to the premier division in order to get rid of the second 0 in it's name and I do not expect it to happen in this division. Uri
