Hello I'm GNU webmaster, you can resolve this?

> I would like to point out what appear to be a couple of errors in the web

> <li><b>Alpha releases</b> are the lowest quality tarballs we build.
> They come from the head, and indicate that a new <b>point release</b>
> is coming. You can distinguish an <b>alpha</b> by its `odd' lettered
> version suffix: 1.7b and 1.7d for example. Alpha releases are
> tagged in CVS as
<tt>release-</tt><i>[major]</i>-<i>[minor][letter]</i>:
> <tt>release-1-7b</tt> and <tt>release-1-7d</tt> here.

> <p>In addition to the official releases made by the libtool team,
> people often like to install a self built CVS snapshot. You can
> distinguish a snapshot by its `odd' lettered version: where `odd'
> means `a', `c', `e', `g', etc.

> The first section above implies that `a' is an `even' letter, whereas the
> last indicates that it is `odd'. Also, on the diagram
> `cvs-release-tagging.png', release-1-7b is mislabelled `1.6b', unless I am
> more confused than I think I am.
