Exactly.  4.3.0.3 tells the user that it is the 3rd release of HylaFAX 
code that is beyond what is (or, as in the case of 4.3.0.1/2, what will 
be) 4.3.0.  It's very similar to what various distributions do in naming 
their releases hylafax-4.3.0-5 and so forth.  Do they add patches and 
bugfixes and features?  Yes they do.  Is it still HylaFAX?  Yes.  Is it 
still worthy of being numbered the way it is?  Yes.

Really, there no is no deception intended at all.  Those that are seeing 
deception seem to be actively looking for it.  I've never gotten an 
e-mail from a HylaFAX user that got it from Sourceforge send me an 
e-mail and say, "Hey man, this is not HylaFAX, and this 4.3.0.3 version 
is nothing like version 4.3.0."

If you're feeling deceived by, perhaps, downloading and installing 4.3.0 
and then finding out that there is another version out there (4.3.0.x) 
that has more features and bugfixes... well, I can certainly understand 
that.  The remedy to that should be apparent.

Feel free to continue this thread as you please, but let's consider this 
my last post in it.  I think that I've already been clear enough.

Thanks,

Lee.
