[Sparkle] Question about update check

I'm getting the same thing (Sparkle 1.5b4), but perhaps it is because  
I have a non-numeric character?

"MyApp 1.8b10 is now available--you have 1.8b10.  Would you like to  
download now?"

Any pointers would be appreciated.  Sparkle is awesome.

My InfoPlist.strings has:
	CFBundleShortVersionString = "1.8b10";

I currently have no CFBundleVersion in my Info.plist (to avoid "1.8b10  
(1.8b10)" in About window)

My test appcast is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
