People,

I'm trying to wrap my head around cc:Mail version numbers.

Various products such as Mobile and Gateways have their own separate
series of numbers, but the main products seem to be as follows.


  Release   Database   Appeared in
  1?        ?          ?
  2?        6?         ?
  3?        6?         ?
  4?        6          ?
  5         6          1995
  6         8          1996
  7?        8          ?
  8         8          1997


I saw someplace that I cannot find now that DB6 is from 1989.

Can anybody fill in the missing numbers?

So for example, there is a package on Ebay right now

that seems to say `Release 2.01' and 1993. How does that compute?
