One common practice (recommend by Microsoft gurus) is to increment your version number immediately _after_ a release, not right before a release. This means that you have plenty of time to debug any issues related to that version number change. I assume that's why the version is 0.8.3 in CVS right now. It was probably changed shortly after 0.8.2 was released and if we want to follow the same pattern, we should change it to 0.8.4 shortly after the next release.
Anyway, I don't think the specific version number matters. What is more important is that we come up with a consistent process that is understandable so that people know what to expect. Heck, until NAnt is 1.0, anything goes, right? :) -----Original Message----- From: John Barstow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 9:07 PM To: 'Erv Walter'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Erv Walter wrote: > It seems kind of odd to suggest that the next version of NAnt > should be 0.8.4, doesn't it?

It's mainly because the CVS version has been marked as 0.8.3 for quite some time now, and it would be clearer to increment to 0.8.4 for a release. If support is not a concern, we can release it as 0.8.3.xxxx and let the chips fall where they may.

The fact is that the majority of assemblies are not affected; for those that are, the release notes document workarounds for the breaking changes. But the important thing is that we test any change like this before committing them. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
