This could be a good moment for someone to bring the Wiki up-to-date
(version 0.9.31 was a little while ago now). Also, the wiki page doesn't
give any policy rules for interpreting major, minor and patch(?) numbers.
Interesting, if you took a pretty common view in that:
- patch numbers are used for bug fix releases
- minor numbers are changed for backwards but not forwards compatible
changes (i.e. a 1.2.x app should still work under 1.4.x but the other
way around is not true), and
- major changes are used when existing apps may be broken,
then Lazarus 2.0.x is only just around the corner. That's because as
soon as FPC 3 becomes the required compiler there will be backwards
compatibility issues (e.g. the TBookmark type changes break any app that
uses it).

Hi,
Lazarus has had the number schemes 0.xxx to now of 1.4.xx
Before falling asleep it passed through my mind about a lazarus 2.xx and...
...I thought what could it be? Lazarus is already so good and so feature
filled that I struggled to understand what could possibly be in or
justify a Lazarus 2.xx
Any thoughts from anyone what a Laz 2 would be?
