The official and the daily builds are distinguished by the "+" in the
version.

The daily builds has the "+". It should symbolize that there are some
extra changes on top of the version. For example, the current master
daily builds have 4.1.0.0.alpha1+ because they have some extra changes
on top of 4.1.0.0.alpha1 builds.

The release builds does not have the "+" because they are well defined
by the related tag.

Sigh, the extra information is sometimes missing in the Windows daily
builds. I think about pushing the information into the registry when
crating the installers. It should be more reliable but it needs some
hacking and I haven't found time for this so far. There are so many
problems everywhere that needs love :-(

Best Regards,

PS: BTW: There are problems with the alpha1 builds at all. We have the
build for Windows. The build fo Linux should be ready hopefully today.
The builds for MAC are not usable because they crash on start. We are
working on it. Please, be patient. We do the alpha1 build to catch
exactly these type of problems. The beta1 builds should be more smooth.
