No, actually, I won't. Bytes aren't forward-facing -- if you aren't a propellor-head, you don't really need to know that there are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. Version numbers are forward-facing.
Besides -- for most software -- if you introducing so many new features that you are exceeding ten point releases without a new major release... then something else is wrong. Time to re-think the release management strategy.
- mark-t 18y agoThat might be accurate for shrink wrap software and maybe even shareware, but it's not for free (as in beer) software. I'll grant that it was never specified, but I got the impression this project was being freely distributed -- otherwise he probably wouldn't bother with bugfix releases. In the free (as in speech) software world, major versions indicate major changes in the software (e.g. gtk+1 vs. gtk+2). A series of minor features, no matter how long, doesn't warrant a new major release number.
