Historically, E-mu used the letter suffix a to denote the first version of a particular specification for 2.00a and 2.00b, but never used these suffixes again. The previous SFe patch version naming scheme used the same system, but it's confusing, as the first version of an SFe specification would retroactively have the letter a added to it when "patched", and would never get it when not. Versioning does not need to be 100% consistent with the E-mu system, but it should be as close as possible while being practical.
The complicated retroactive renaming system for patches was not practical, so we've scrapped it. From 4.0.11, we will refer to the first patch (second version) with the letter a. So, the first version of 4.0 would just be 4.0, but a patch would bring the version to 4.0a. This is in contrast to renaming 4.0 to 4.0a when 4.0b releases.
Let's get it done as soon as we can.
