Hi all,
earlier today I uploaded XML-LibXML-1.99 and since the 1.* releases had two
trailing digits, the next version will be past 2. This is a good to switch to a
better versioning scheme, with more digits after the first dot, which will give
us more air to breath.
I'm asking you what the advantages and disadvantages of the following schemes:
1. "2.xxyy" - "xx" are the major/new-feature versions, while "yy" are for bug
fixes/maintenance versions.
2. "2.xxxyyy" - same as before only with three digits each.
3. "2.xxyyy" - same as before only a hybrid approach that will give a zero in
the middle in case there are less than 100 maintenance versions.
4. "2.x.y" - I use this for my open source C projects and some of my CPAN
modules and perl 5 and Parrot use it as well. Is it well supported with the
CPAN toolchain?
What do you recommend?
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
