We can still change it. I know Robbie isn't sold either, and I'm open to the alternative we discussed: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.
I should note that while I think the date-based approach is reasonable, it's not a good fit for a pure-API module such as qpid-proton or qpid-jms. There I think you want the major number to signal the presence or absence of big API changes. Since it wasn't mentioned before: I also like 31, 32, 33 for Qpid C++ and similar. It's the style that Firefox uses, and I think it does a slightly better job of representing the pace and lifecycle of some of our components. Stated negatively, it avoids the major number becoming arbitrary--more marketing than substance. In summary, my preference: Pure API modules such as qpid-jms, -proton: 0.1, 0.2, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, etc. Servers, tools, test suites: 31, 32, 33, 33.1, etc. Justin On Mon, Jan 19, 2015 at 2:03 PM, Fraser Adams <fraser.ad...@blueyonder.co.uk > wrote: > I know this has been discussed previously, but looking at "15.02" in the > cold hard light of day just looks, well, weird to my eyes :-( > > Perhaps it's just 'cause it's new and I'm not used to seeing versions like > that, but I have to be honest, I'm still not sold.
