hi. Keep in mind folks, FS often produces versions of JAWS for internal uses, I.e. Alpha and beta builds, and they usually have sequential numbers. so that would explain the strange numbering system. We don't see all the builds that are made, so when a public version comes out, it could be a much higher number than the previous one.

 I hope that explains it?

I don't think it's the first time a JAWS update has come out with a nonsequential number. I also wish FS would simplify the numbering because we frequently need to refer to update, and not just version, numbers. I usually take the extra step of checking the "About" section in JAWS help. It isn't as if there have been 522 separate updates of version 9.

Is it just me and all the people I have talked to. numerically speaking jaws 9.00.522 should be the latest update NOT 9.00.2152

This is not the way versions numbers should be labeled .2 comes before .5.

Has anyone else thought this strange?
