In Ubuntu world they use LTS concept (Long Time Support) which means 5 (yes five!) years of guaranteed support on these specific
versions (there are already 2 of them : 6.06 and 8.04).
Of course OFBiz is not an OS and I think we will never support a release 5 years (how could we do with the lack of manpower we still
have despite of all wonderful efforts we have seen taking place since the beginning of this project).
So I guess we will simply have releases (or versions, like 9.3, but I guess we will postpone its release, hence the number will
change) and the trunk as it's already done.
In one word a version will be
either
trunk.releaseNumber
either
versionNumber.releaseNumber (like 9.3.999999)
Note that the footer shows already this information if you run the ant svninfo
target after your build
If we are all ok with this description (David?) I could add this to
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Release+Plan
And I think we should at least update title in
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+4.X+and+5.0

interesting. so how do you denote a minor release or update?

Sorry,
I did not understand your real question.
We have decided to use a release numbering scheme similar to UBUNTU.
9.3 means March 2009

2009/2/22 BJ Freeman <[email protected]>:
so why did ofbiz jump from 4.0 to 9.3?
Bruno Busco sent the following on 2/22/2009 2:59 AM:
Well,
the unresolved issues scheduled for 9.3 are:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=12310500&fixfor=12313602&resolution=-1&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC
OFBIZ-2133 has a patch ready and is actually waiting for a review.

it say release Branch 9.3
so no 5,6,7, or 8
