Why don't we follow (I believe the SUN standard) convention of using the three digits as in 1.2.3. A change from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4 is a bug fix release no new functionality and fully backward compatible. A change from 1.2.3 to 1.3 can have new functionality and bug fixes but is fully backwards compatible. Finally a change from 1.2.3 to 2.0 is new functionality, bug fixes and no guarantee of backward compatibility

The way I've done things in the past, the first major release is called 1.0.0, the first patch release 1.0.1, etc. Then, when I say "1.0", what I really mean is "the latest code in the 1.0 branch, whatever that is right now". When we did Kodo releases in the past, we tried hard to not do new feature development in a maintenance branch. So, following that methodology, once we released 1.0.0, we would make a 1.0 branch, which would periodically have tags on it when we release 1.0.1 etc. As soon as 1.0 was out, all the interesting new cool stuff would then go into the mainline, which would be 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT. (Unless, of course, we had already cut a branch for 1.1 also, in which case the mainline would be 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT, etc.) -Patrick On 5/23/07, Craig L Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -1 > > I like the idea of having our first release out of the incubator be 1.0. > > Let's drop the trailing .0 and reserve the third digit for patch > releases.
