[DUG] XE3 - Auto Increment Build Number - Disabled Release Number Text Box?

[David Moorhouse]

Hi Anthony

Auto incrementing build numbers are a bad idea.  We use final builder to 
get a consistent build of our projects each time and insert the 
subversion revision number as the build number.

A much better idea IMO as you can tie a specific executable back to your 
code base at a given time.
