In JIRA, should we bother with having "version.x" versions or not, and only have, say 8.1, 8.2, etc.? I seem to be schizophrenic on this having thought we did things one way and recently thought the other. Our release process wiki page[1] makes no mention of such releases near where JIRA is discussed AFAICT, and instead I see explicit mention of using the minor releases numbers. I'm baffled why I'm on record for saying the inverse only 6 weeks ago. In practice, it appears Lucene side uses these "version.x"[2]. Solr doesn't at the moment only because of some recent cleanup.
FWIW I think we shouldn't bother but who knows what I'll think in a month ;-P [1]: https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ReleaseTodo#Add_New_JIRA_Versions [2]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20LUCENE%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%208.x ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley
