how do they come up with the os extension #

Not a big deal, just curious. I've been following the Curve os 4.5 releases recently. I guess they went from .77 to .89 to .97 and now I guess .131. Anybody know what the significance of those final numbers is? Was there an os 4.5.78 (and .79, .80, .81, etc) that was developed but we didn't see leaked or released before it got to .89 (then .97, then .131, etc)? I can't believe that between the .77 and the .131 they tried 50+ different versions of 4.5 but I've got no idea how the process works.

There is a build with every number, you just dont see it. Some get killed immediately, other make it to internal tests, more still make to expanded test with partners and dont pass carrier certifications.

So RIM's got that many people working on different versions of just one os?

Each time a build is done and sent to testing they are working on another.

Who knew? Thanks for the info.
