221493 - new version, same number

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Torrens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031003 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Firebird/0.7

I have two files MozillaFirebird.exe:
0: size 6815744 bytes; dated 2003Oct03-12:54:10
1:      7813616              2003Jul28-02:12:34
They both give, under Help, the same version number: 0.6.1
That does not help bug reporting...Should not the version number be increased at
every file update?

Reproducible: Always

under version 0.6.1 there's a string like this that tells exact date of the build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031007
Firebird/0.7+ (aebrahim)

To find out the version go to help->About Mozilla Firebird (and see comment #1).

Each new build is marked with a build identifier, which relates to the date.
Version numbers are only increased when a new version is released, this will
usually represent a significant set of new features and bug fixes.

I think you are looking under help-> release notes, which says 0.6.1.
Version 0.7 will be released to coincide with mozilla 1.5 (I think this week).

marking as INVALID since this isn't a bug
