Hi all, currently PyInstaller uses a somehow semantic versioning. For example:
v3.0: support for Python 3 v3.1: Support reproducible builds, Strip paths in compiled code objects v3.2: main" script is now byte-compiled, docs at readthedoc, etc v3.3: Support for Python 3.6 v3.4 will bring support for Python 3.7 Now I found myself not releasing v3.4 since I tough: "This is important, this shall be part of 3.4". One of the reasons for rare releases is the effort for writing the NEWS file, see [2756] for details. Now with [3698] I'm fostering the selection of a release-notes tool (comments are welcome!). And there is [2837] about preparing towncrier (the reason 2837 already exists while the decision is still pending is that 2837 was created as a follow-up to 2756, while 3698 was created when I picked up the topic again after listening to a talk at the EuroPython conference.) Now I wonder: If we are able to release more easily and to release more quickly, is the current version scheme still appropriate? Should we change to to a different version scheme based on year and month, like several projects already to, e.g. twisted and towncrier. pip (switched just recently, see [1]) and attrs are using a version based on the year plus release count in the year. What do you thing?
