In my opinion only the Saros Core should be versioned in such a way.
But we still have plenty to do, especially the format on how we send
data over the wire
is not specified and will give us a headache every time something is
changed in those activities or
if new ones are added.

Hi everyone,
Franz and myself just had a discussion about using Semantic Versioning
for Saros.
This idea has been pitched previously by other devs, but making this
change would have
made updates impossible for users for reasons I will not touch here.
So, basics first: Semantic Versioning is a prescription on how to
version your software
and can be summed up in this simple rule:
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a
backwards-compatible manner, and
3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Quelle: http://semver.org/
The current version of Saros is 14.1.31. This tells us that the latest
version has been released
on January 31st 2014. Besides being meaningless (and somewhat ugly),
this versioning also
forces us to hardcode our check for version-compatibility.
So we came up with a solution for this. On each release we would
increment MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
in the following manner:
1. MAJOR when the release is not backwards-compatible with the
previous Saros version
2. MINOR when it is backwards-compatible and new features have been added
3. PATCH when it's a backwards compatible bugfix-only release (if
that were ever to happen)
So the next Saros release would be 15.0.0 and would use this new
scheme. We would need to update
the documentation of our release process, and simplify the
version-compatibility check implementation.
So, any thoughts? Any volunteers? Should I make this into an Feature
Request on Sourceforge?
Cheers,
Arsenij
