Description Alan Coopersmith 2006-10-23 10:40:00 UTC 
When built from xorg-server-1.1.99.901 tarball,
Xorg -version (and the info in Xorg.0.log) prints:

X Window System Version 7.1.99.2
Release Date: 21 December 2005

It should say .99.901 & a more recent release date, but the configure.ac entries
for these were not updated:
DEFAULT_VERSION_MAJOR=7
DEFAULT_VERSION_MINOR=1
DEFAULT_VERSION_PATCH=99
DEFAULT_VERSION_SNAP=2
DEFAULT_RELEASE_DATE="21 December 2005"

It would be nice if these could be autocalculated (maybe fill in the date from
a dist-hook?  and use code like the recently suggested xorg version macros from
8590 to generate the version from the AC_INIT version?), but if nothing else 
this bug serves as reminder to the release manager to change those lines for 
the release.

Fixed in RC3, will remember for final too.
