.... Oracle bought a domain name just to list the new features in a minor version release?
I know MySQL doesn't use Semver at all, and I know the domain probably cost 3/5 of fuck all, but still...
- morgo 10y agoI bought the domain name. It's not a minor release. MySQL predates semver. It is not alone here (see Mac OS X; PostgreSQL etc.). But you will be happy to hear that the next version will be called 8.0.
- stephenr 10y ago5.7... to 8.. Oh right, Oracle. Like how Java 1.5 became Java 5, eh. Is >=8 going to be Semver?
- morgo 10y ago6.0 was a canceled release. 7.x. is used by Cluster. 8.0 is the next number along, and makes it easy to follow as "it just drops the 5".
- toyg 10y agoDude, Oracle is bad but when they bought Sun, they were already on Java 6. The "1.4 to 5" move was all Sun, back in 2004 -- and to be honest, it wasn't even a bad move.
- sanxiyn 10y agoLooking at WHOIS, I think morgo bought the domain as an individual.
