[Emms-patches] Version numbering scheme

[Tim Landscheidt]

Hi,

at the moment the source at HEAD identifies the version as
"3.0" in Makefile and lisp/emms.el - this is bad, as it can
lead to confusion with the released 3.0.

  I don't think that it is necessary a define a full-fledged
numbering scheme à la alpha, beta, rc1, rc2, release, but I
would like to be able to:

- distinguish hot code being currently developed from code
  having been released ("4.0dev" being the predecessor for
  "4.0"?), and
- maintain previous releases, i.e., while new features are
  being added to the "4.0dev" line, bug fixes (in theory)
  are backported to "3.1dev" -> "3.1" (or "3.0.2dev" ->
  "3.0.2").

Any thoughts?

Tim
