As far as software in the old days went (I have no idea when the old
days were, exactly) , I remember a dot-something increment involved a
change in the file format of an application, while a full
number-upgrade involved some major underpinnings changes to a
program, whether it was the GUI or something else.
I'm sure there are better, more in-depth explanations out there...
but unless the file format changed, we'll be in the 2.3.x days for
some time to come... and that's completely fine with me, as I'm sick
of whole version numbers coming out on pretty much a yearly schedule,
with very minimal changes. Of course, the general consumer wants big
number changes, as it seems so much bigger that way... and the
company can try to justify a big upgrade cost.
Personally, I like the subscription-based pricing that MetaCard
currently uses - mostly since the updates are so frequent and
important. Keep up the great work, MC Corp.!
