Am I the only one who's irritated by how they treat 2.8 and 2.80 as if it was the same version number? In any sane use of semver, they are 72 minor versions apa

- danellis 8y agoThey're not the same, but 2.80 is the first release in the 2.8 series, so this is the release of both the specific 2.80 version and the 2.8 series. Next will be 2.81, etc. (Except it's not, because it hasn't been released yet. Still in beta.)
- Tempest1981 8y agoYes, the rare case where you can sort version number strings alphabetically, not numerically (split on .) And a max of 10 minor versions per major version (2.70-2.79)
- enzanki_ars 8y agoBecause they are not the same version number. See https://www.blender.org/download/releases/ https://www.blender.org/download/releases/. There does not look to be a 2.8 based on your description because it would have been called 2.08.
- blensor 8y agoIn Blender versioning if they are talking about single digit minor release numbers you always have to add an imaginary x at the end 2.4x branch, 2.5x branch, 2.6xbranch, ... Every time they move the first digit after the comma something major changes.
- alliecat 8y agoNot everything uses Semver (which is primarily aimed at software libraries). Blender's versioning scheme is consistent and reasonably well documented.
