Hi Stefan, you missed the point. Marketing is transporting a message. And you exactly say that you get various aspects from a version number transported. The whole discussion shows that version numbers are marketing. For version management you have trac. If you really just want to release a new version do a continuous numbering from 1-n You could even tag which version is compatible with what.
But naming symfony 1.0 - 1.0 was already marketing transporting a special message that is easier for people to under stand rather than reading release notes checking changesets and checking api deprecation. Same is calling it 1.0.1. This shall mean this is fully compatible, we just fixed some minor stuff, take it asap. But you could otherwise say: revison 2345 has now been tagged as stable release 4. Its compatible with revision r1223-2344, releases 2-4. Check the modification in classes x and y. But that's hard to grasp and doesn't fit onto a box. So 1.5 would transport a message most people here agree on (btw: I don't, because the list from Francois does not contain really new "features" It contains mostly invisible enhancements, and I would like to see visible enhancements for such a major jump). And 1.5 would fit on a box. Giving it an additional name is just decoration. Because the name is not marketing, it does not transport a message. .: Fabian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] om [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] groups.com] On Behalf Of Stefan Koopmanschap Sent: Mittwoch, 26.

Version numbers are identifiers of the various steps in software development. So version numbers are absolutely not marketing. They can be used for that, but if you use it purely for version management, it's got nothing to do with marketing.
