Examples: Mudlet 3.0.0 got released - dvelopment branch is now 3.0.0-dev. Any testing snapshots for users will be 3.0.0-testing-shortsha1, and they are intended to be very short-lived. Mudlet 3.1.0 gets released - development branch is now 3.1.0-dev, testing snapshots 3.0.0-testing-shortsha1.

== Past versioning ==

Mudlet 3.0 release cycle used a different versioning scheme: snapshots used versions from the unreleased release, for example 3.0-delta. This caused confusion as the name was shortened to 3.0 and people thought they were using 3.0 when they were not.
