Well, I ran 'make' in the /doc/src/sgml/ directory. The Makefile has:
$ make { \ echo "<!ENTITY version \"9.6beta2\">"; \ echo "<!ENTITY majorversion \"9.6\">"; \ } > version.sgml
What am I missing? I don't see a "9.6beta" anywhere.
Oh, now I see what you're referring to. My bad.
And then the proper answer is no, it should not say 9.6beta2. Because it lists the *major* version, not the minor. We do attach the beta to make sure people realize it's not released, but if you look at the same place for 9.5 for example, you see it says 9.5 not 9.5.3.
