Version numbers aren't meaningless if you have a good system, e.g. major/minor/patch. You just can't use them to compare between two different products. I know Moz wants to be a bit more like Chrome with frequent releases but it seems like this could be done a bit more sensibly wrt the version number.
- wmf 15y agoWhen you release every six weeks, there will never be a major release. Thus you end up with version numbers like 2.6.39.
- tom9729 15y ago1) The patch number is for things like bug and security fixes, and gets reset every time the major/minor version gets bumped. 2) Every 6 week release you bump the minor version _unless_ some big feature(s) are ready to be rolled in, in which case you bump the major version instead.
