Hi,
thinking out loud, so don't take me too seriously but... should we follow
the GeoTools example and
switch GeoServer version numbering to a "x.y" approach, just like GeoTools
did?
I keep on having people asking me things like "but is Geoserver 2.13.1 much
different than 2.8.3?"
Heck yes, it's years of development in between... it's a major jump, even
if the number may not make
it look like that.
GeoServer 1.x ended at 1.7, so GeoServer 2.14.0 should likely be renamed to
22 (7 + 14 + 1, counting
also 2.0.0 in the mix).
We were keeping 3.x for a "epic storm" kind of change, but even when we
switched to 2.x we maintained
seamless upgrades, so I guess it's not just in our style to do that kind of
change, and we can probably
drop the "2."
Opinions?
Cheers
Andrea
