Excuse me if that has been discussed numerous times, but I distinctly
remember CockroachDB 2.0 coming out, and it being a big deal. Where are
releases 3.0 to 19.0? Was the versioning scheme changed? How? Why?
Other than that, I really wish I could use CockroachDB at "$COMPANY".
Our architects, unfortunately, deem it “too new” and “unproven”. Bah.
- a-robinson 7y agoThey switched to calendar-based versioning earlier this year with the 19.1 release, for reasons explained in this blog post: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/calendar-versioning/ https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/calendar-versioning/
- ainar-g 7y agoThanks for the link! “““ We wanted to find a solution that would minimize frustration (and time-consuming meetings) internally, while setting the correct expectations with users around quality and stability. ””” Honestly, this doesn't explain much. If anything, hearing “FooDB 19.1” makes me think of stuff like React 16 or Chrome 69. That is, of “hip dudes” who “live fast and bump major versions”. On the other hands, hearing “FooDB 2.16” would make me think “Yep, this thing seems stable as Perl or Linux”. The meetings point also doesn't explain anything. Go simply does a minor version bump every six months. Why couldn't Cockroach Labs just do that? Oh well, who cares, really, as long as the product is great.
