Yes, this was the reason for using it. Also, the new proposal requires us to have an oracle for knowing if 1.5.1 will be followed by 1.5.2 or by 1.6.0 -- alternatively, there will be some non-monotonic changes in the SVN version number when we change our mind on this. > - apparently it just does an alphabetical sort > on the values. Not quite. AFAIK, it uses a lexicographic order on the list of components, separated by ".", " ", ... where each component is ordered naturally (numbers as numbers and strings alphabetically). So "1.10" is after "1.1" although this is not the alphabetic order. -- Markus > > -Yaron > > On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 9:22 AM, Jeroen De Dauw <jeroended...@gmail.com>wrote: > > Hey, > > > > I'd like to change the format of the SMW version notation, as I think the > > current one is rather confusing.
