18 I was hoping since it was a whole different numbering scheme that it was
19 a major change. That was the reason for my question. I didn't know if
20 this was major or a normal update or something else. I was hoping for
21 something like when Seamonkey went from version 1.* to 2.* but this is
22 not the case. The reason I was hoping for this was because of my kernel
23 panic issue. I'm still hopeful that something may have been updated
24 that will fix my problem but I'm not as hopeful now since this is
25 nothing great.
