Hello, Thanks for your mesage. Independently of the version numbering the main interesting information is about the frequency of the releases, which is a good thing and shows the future investment of the 3DS Scilab team. I just hope that users will get used to trash their current version of

Dear Stéphane, I really appreciate you being so compassionate about making Scilab the best it can be. There is no doubt that the points you make are absolutely valid, and I hope that Scilab's administration will make a wise decision to continue to maintain the project in the future. Merci,

Also, as has been already mentioned, the year version may or may not imply an actual major version (i.e., changes that imply an important or significant API change, which not necessarily means backward incompatibility) so to find out it will be necessary to dive into the change log. The only

Dear Scilab users / team, Just one opinion among others: That's nice to have new Scilab releases regularly, provided of course that backward compatibility is guaranteed us much as possible, except maybe for major versions. But I don't see the need for changing the versioning convention. For

Dear Scilabers I'm not a professional software developer, but a user of Scilab for more than 10 years. I am positive to a 6-month release schedule. I am also a bit surprised, since last Scilab release was almost two years ago and I'm wondering how the planned frequent release schedule can be

Hello, Please allow me to react to these answers as I feel also very concerned with this potential evolution. The year-base major number won't ease a better visibility about API changes. It will force us to systematically add a a notice saying something like : "Don't worry about the major
