This is a subject I've always wondered about, but which some of you know pretty well: How does the author of a package determine version numbers when updating his/her software?
I've contributed a couple of packages the CRAN, the R software repository, and I'm about to update one of them. It has the default version number in the software scheme in CRAN, 1.0.0. The changes consist of (a) a small but important extension of capability and (b) a new example. The extension consists of adding only a couple of lines of code, but it sets up the new example. And that example has utility in its own right, so it ought to be called an application rather than an example. So, what should my new version number be? 1.0.1? 1.1.0?
