Quoting Chris Sharp <[email protected]>:
I think the criterion for a "3.0" release is pretty straightforward.
If the web client will be fully usable in all major functionality
(Circulation, Cataloging, Administration, Acquisitions), with
multiple printer options and standalone in place and easily
installable by a reasonably experienced Windows administrator, we
should call it 3.0 and have a big splash news release about it. If
not, I think we should go with 2.10.
I agree that beating the dead horse of release numbering in general
is not productive, but as with 2.0 several years ago, 3.0 should
mean more than "that number was next".
I just want to say that for the most part, I agree with Chris. I'm not
married to version numbers, but I've long thought 3.0 should be reserved
for when the browser staff client is recommended over the XUL client.
