Hi there, My bad. With all the third-digit increments, I hadn't even noticed that you also incremented 1.3 to 1.4 :-) Is there a documented numbering strategy, somewhere?
Is it a problem that the y doesn't start with 0 or 1? Well, we've moved from our own "arbitrary" version numbering scheme to semver (http://semver.org) and to the corresponding suggestions by Sonatype for Maven: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Versioning The advantage of doing this is that we no longer have to "think" about a meaningful version numbering scheme. It's just the same, useful one that everyone has. E.g. going from 1.3.176 to 1.4.0-beta-1 to 1.4.0-beta-2. This standard scheme clearly communicates the intent of every release, helping users choose the right version when upgrading. In any case, you probably wouldn't reach numbers as high as 176 with this numbering scheme. As I mentioned in my previous E-Mail, you'd be incrementing the minor release number much more often.
