One thing that altering the major version number is the publicity and public perception that would come from it. Sure, it's just a number, but according to the Apache rules, we can put out a bonafide press-release that gets pushed out all the PR channels. Also, with a major version number the public will finally see a real "Apache" release, and not the /perception/ of us simply maintaining Adobe's releases.
I don't know -- at this point I can't recommend anybody actually use FB for major projects anymore. As much as I've tried, I can't keep it stable enough to actually use for any length of time. Almost all the wizards are broken, they've removed the only compelling feature of the product in 4.7 (DV), and it's compatibility with the newer components we've been putting out has been lacking. -Nick On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 6:55 AM, Tom Chiverton <t...@extravision.com> wrote: > It's not a mute point as getting Adobe to release an update will be a lot > of work, for us, them and the end users, when there is no need at all to > alter the major version number. > > Tom > > > On 10/12/14 11:48, Kessler CTR Mark J wrote: > >> So would that mean if FB was incompatible with our version number they >> would release an update that corrects FB to support it?
