IOC World Bird List:pS. Next version will evidently be v4.

Strangely the the PS page says 4.0 but the other update pages say draft 4.1. Don't see the point myself in changing from 3 to 4 unless something really major is going to happen (e.g. radical format change in the lists) otherwise stick with 3.x until a good reason
 
The proposed alignment of version number to calendar year has value for bibliographic purposes and especially doi registration, I am told. To your point, our thought also is to schedule major annual revisions - of higher classification, for example - for the Jan update. Comments most welcome.

Thanks also for spotting the consistency problem of 4.0 vs 4.1. V4.0 will be reserved for the "database" element of the doi registration. v4.1-4.5 will refer to "data sets" of that database. I'm on a steep tech learning curve here, so expect this all to evolve in the months ahead.
