So does it mean I should use 0.8 in the name even for the development
0.7 releases? I can do that even though it's a bit unusual (but
probably practical). I just took over the numbering scheme the
previous maintainer used which I think was inspired by clutter's 0.x
releases (the libraries were of the form libclutter-glx-0.x.so, where
odd x was a development version and even x was a stable version).
