Versioning

Post by neophyte »

For some reason I have this idea stuck in my head that when you make changes to the code base that including major changes in the api you should step your version say from 1.x to 2.x. Is this true? Can someone set me straight on this?

it's a personal preference thing, as the version number means nothing in reality :P

Yeah, version numbers is very subjective. I just go 1, 2, 3 for every major upgrade and for small changes I go by a build number which is the revision number in Subversion (an improved version of CVS).
