I believe "Star" is a version, and that they'll be using numbers eventually.

    Actually "Star" is the name of a distribution (just like "activestate" or "strawberry"). The version is a month name, and will stay that way.

      In that case will the star releases bundle libraries, external modules and few dev tools?
