Ah, I missed[*] Bjorn's point about that this is harder to parse using
sed/grep/awk. Also underscore seems to be acceptable 

OK, it seems that the best solution is:

	+ 3.X.Y_alphaZ   - for alpha releases
 	+ 3.X.Y_betaZ    - for beta releases
 	+ 3.X.Y.Z        - for release candidates

If nobody is against, I would like start using it for 3.6.0-beta2 tags
and source tarballs.


Best Regards,
Petr
