Guess the next released firmware's build number

Bookeen are supposed to be releasing a new firmware version shortly. Guess what the build number will be. Not the version number, but the build number.

Previous build numbers have been 476,538,674,708,796,802,820

Why should I be interested in the build number, that's bookeen's internal matter and of little significance to me. The version number on the other hand, that's what I'm dying to find out about.
Don't you wanna reconsider the scope of this poll? Just a friendly advice.

Wait, if they change the version number, doesn't that zero out the build number?

Unlikely. It's already at at least 834 and monotonically increases.

The build number doesn't get reset with version number changes. Feel free to do a poll on what version number the next release will have. My guesses, in descending order or probability: 2.0, 1.5, 1.3

I believe that Bookeen's build number is a /daily/ build number, although others disagree.

I think it is the subversion revision number. Which can increase by one per day depending on what the check in policies are.

I doubt it. If they have only had 820 check ins then they are either "very good" or don't check in every change. Our svn revision number is somewhere around 30k. Plus we have several projects in the same repository and the revision numbers in svn are global to the repository.

Or they do not work so much...

I like to check in each change but it is common to have a policy that you only check in things that build cleanly. So if you have this policy the number is not unreasonable especially if you only have on project in the repository.

Or devs can only check in changes that don't break the build also. We have about 6 devs working on our trunk and 4 branch versions. We do a CI build on each check in and that is our "build" number. But, we reset the build number to 0 on each Major or Minor version change. Not on hotfix or service pack versions though.

There is no "None" option - what should I choose if I think they won't release new version anymore, and will only add new versions to newly released Cybooks?

I think Bookeen has one developer and zero branches...
