Re: Software version numbering -- a proposition
Let me put it another way:

CR1 - Ex-Videotron areas, or the very first (green) EPG software used by CWC
CR2 - Langley software prior to the latest rollout, or (more correctly) the (blue) EPG software used by CWC.
CR3 - Do you mean Langley or Bromley? The first Bromley version, or after Maintenance Release 1?
LCR3 - This is clear, but what will you call it when (in a year or so) the next Langley release goes out?

The numbering system I've suggested differentiates between all of these easily.

DeK: It is unfortunate in a way, but I think it's overall it will be a good thing if L3.1 is now the "NTL Look" -- the Sky software has hardly changed in its basic look over the years, despite software revisions. Hopefully this new look will last NTL for many years, and though many updates.
