[Larceny-users] confusing versions

Hi,

I installed from the svn repo today and the larceny that I compiled from that
reports itself as:

 Larceny v0.97a4 (alpha test) (Mar 13 2009 15:30:01, precise:Linux:unified)

but the released beta version reports itself as:

 Larceny v0.97b1 (beta test) (Feb 28 2009 17:48:48, precise:Linux:unified)

Since the release is older than the repo I would expect it to have a lower
version number, but instead it has a higher one (at least if we agree that alpha
versions of 0.97 come before beta versions of 0.97).

Is this an oversight or am I misunderstanding the versioning system?

Marijn
