Jake Farrell reassigned THRIFT-274:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Jake Farrell
Agree with Roger on this, Major.Minor.Patch with optional -snapshot or -dev to
describe non-released versions.
> Towards a working release/versioning process
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-274
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-274
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Luke Lu
> Assignee: Jake Farrell
>
> The current thrift version is virtually useless because it's not getting
> updated when backward compatibility is broken (it's always 20080411-exported
> on all the snapshots,) I can't just tell people to use the trunk and not
> breaking things due things like namespace changes etc. Many projects maintain
> a reasonable versioning scheme even when system is in alpha state.
> Thrift overall is stable enough to warrant a working versioning scheme. Can
> we at least start to discuss a version scheme, e.g., major.minor.patch or
> major.minor.micro.patch, where patch number changes are bug fixes and minor
> or micro are backward compatible changes and major changes indicate breaking
> backward compatibility or just marketing hype.
> I propose that we call the current thrift version 1.0.0.0 after all the
> namespace changes and stick to a reasonable scheme instead of using suffixes
> (like beta<n>/rc<n> etc.) as it's much friendlier to other components that
> uses thrift.
