[Koha] [Koha-devel] version 3.0.4 on download.koha.org

[Ben Ide]

Calling it "3.00.04_final" does have some problems.  Does "_final" mean that
there won't be any more releases, or just no more for 3.00.04?

And in the remote chance that 3.00.04_final needs to be fixed, what do you
call it?

I like "3.00.04_son_of_final" personally. ;-)

Thanks,
-- Ben
