Lol. Loved it. He he I was really believing ;). On 1 Apr 2010 22:36, "Mathieu Bouchard" <[email protected]> wrote:
Upcoming version numbers of GridFlow will drop the initial zero as it has become evident that the numbering couldn't possibly get past zero otherwise. GridFlow thus becomes one of the first things in the Pd world to ever go beyond version number 1.0. The next version number will thus be 9.8, and recent version numbers may retroactively be called without the leading zero, where it makes sense. As software improves, expectations improve such that the goal becomes ever farther. Version 1.0 is some point at the horizon, and we can never actually get to the horizon, so, we cannot possibly get to version 1.0. Therefore, major version numbers are useless. CQFD (QED). This is a great step towards staying in touch with the users, who have been heard comparing the pros and cons of GridFlow «9.6» vs «9.7» for a while, among comparisons of PureData «41» and «42», GEM «91» and «92», and so on. I would like to laud those users for their practical sense in numbering that software. Finally, I would like to wish everybody a good April's Fools. Hope you had fun with the fish. _ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard, Montréal, Québec. téléphone: +1.514.383.3801 _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
