module release naming, a long word for naming your release files right. For the benefit of the users, for better overview and easier upgrading, module release files should be named according to the ModuleReleaseNaming convention. This is a very simple guideline with many benefits.
A module release file is a (compressed) archive of the module files. The root of the archive contains the folder with the module files. This makes the module easy to install, as the folder in the archive can be uploaded to the site's /module/ folder directly, and the module can be installed.
The module release file name itself follows this simple rule: XOOPS2_mod_modulename_version.number_status_developername.extension
Thus, the mylinks module release file name would (could) be: XOOPS2_mod_mylinks_1.1_beta_onokazu.zip
Statuses can be "alpha", "beta", "RC" (Release Candidate) and "final"
note the use of underscores and points. Do not use spaces, parenthises and "~" in the module release name.
