This morning I bumped the revision number to 2.0[0]. Some people on IRC didn't like this, so I reverted it and I'm bringing it here. I don't think anyone really wants to keep doing 1.x releases (people seriously get confused that 1.10 comes after 1.6).
Hi Chad, thanks for that initiative. I agree our current system is confusing, although I think criticism would have been better placed 2.5 years ago, when we released 1.10 ;)
- Drop the 1 from 1.17.x and make the releases start counting
from 17.x, 18.x, etc.
Would work, although its confusing to change existing releases. And it isn't practical in case we want a new major realease someday (Phase IV anyone? ;))
- Bump 1.x to 2.0 and move forward from there.
Should be done for the next major release (if we ever have one of those)
- Drop numbers entirely, and pick silly names
Doesn't make releases less confusing.
I agree that our current schema sucks, but at least until we have some kind of major release that would justify moving to 2.0, I don't see a good alternative.
