Hi,
I propose that we use versioning in the form of "year.quarter".
2017 would start with 17.0, then 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 for following
quarters of the year, respectively.
2018 would start with 18.0, then 18.1, 18.2, 18.3.
The motivation is that you can easily tell when a specific Mesa
version was released with an accuracy of 3 months.
That's the only scheme that seems practical to me. Everything else
seems arbitrary or random.
Opinions?
Why not just use year.month instead, would be more accurate...and
releases happen semi random anyway and not after a given time.
That's fine for something like Ubuntu where they really stick to their
two releases per year, in the same months each year. I'm not so sure
that that's a realistic goal for Mesa, and if releases *aren't*
consistently happening in the same months, you end up introducing a lot
of confusion about which version numbers exist and which don't.
Time-based with YY.0 for the first release of the year, and then YY.1,
YY.2, etc. works fine.
Cheers,
Nicolai
