Underscore probably makes most sense, since it is similar to the |
| 15 |
underscore used in _rc3, etc. Of course, don't use an "_" when it's |
| 16 |
just "live" alone. I agree, especially if we consider "live" |
| 17 |
essentially part of the version (as "9999" is now), and especially since |
| 18 |
it's possible to have simply a version of "live" with no numeric |
| 19 |
portion, that it should avoid the "-". Not sure I like "."... |
