Maybe someone should create a tag like v3.devel or something in the 
master branch? When the next branching for release-3.6 gets done, that 
branch should get an initial minor change (start with release notes?) 
and have that tagged like v3.6.0alpha (make sure to include the .0 and 
start with 'alpha' so that 'beta' will be seen as an update).

If I'm not mistaken, this would 'fix' the unexpected versioning.
