Unless there is a good reason not to, I think we should only increment the third version number.
Ie, this release should probably have been 1.3.13, even though it only contains a single fix.
A good reason for using a forth version number is to split off a new tree when dangerous new features are being introduced into the main development tree.
An example of this is my old 1.3.7.X series, becasue in 1.3.8 I heavily modified the interprocess communication code, and was not sure if it was rock solid.

Hi
Well, i disagree there.
W = Major
and Y indicates a development release if it is odd (CVS normally) and a stable one if it is even.
That way we can add fixes to our stable releases without the need to release a new stable out of the devel tree (that would be numbered 1.3.14 in this case) whithout the sureness that it doesnt break somewhere.
The dangerous new features: Well, for that we can open a branch in the CVS to develop and test them there without touching the mainline. Only interested users/developers download that tree with cvs, so they know why it breaks.
What do you think about that? |
