Agree with Dave that when it becomes incompatible, the major version number should be increased. Major changes also warrant a major number change.

We were discussing an incompatible change, and if we do decide to do that I think the version number should increase to 1.0.0 to reflect this (and also the fact that this is the first version since graduation). If we later go ahead with the API rewrite (MRUNIT-69), this could form MRUnit 2.0.0! Would line up nicely with Hadoop's own numbering strategy ;) On 7 September 2012 07:54, James Kinley <kin...@cloudera.com> wrote: +1 for the 1.0.0 release. I think it's a good idea to increase the major version number considering the recent graduation and the included changes.

However, I still prefer a one-digit minor version as most software do that in practice.

Does it mean that the version after graduating should show the 'step'? Is that a common way to do it? Not taking into account the graduation, I would also favor the "0.10.0" instead of "1.0.0".
