- HeckFeck 4y ago[sarcasm] I am looking forward to the days when we ditch memorable release versions and just use the git commit hash to identify a release. [/sarcasm]
- favadi 4y agoWhy would anyone want to use Ubuntu 4ee7bb27a0ff1cbc203a0df93919980ccbcfd4f1 over Ubuntu 22.04?
- tuyiown 4y agodates. dates are good. YYYY.MM.patch.
- rolisz 4y agoWhy? There is value in having some sort of easily identifiable ordering to versions
- HeckFeck 4y agoAbsolutely. I was being sarcastic. I'm not fond of this rabid incrementation that originated with Chrome.
- Maken 4y agoYou should work for Asus.
- zorr 4y agoHow would that work for deprecations and new API introductions? GNOME is built on top of glib/gobject/gtk and a host of other libraries which all have to be ABI-compatible in some way. And GNOME itself is used as a base platform for applications. Having a predictable versioning scheme helps limit the number of releases for downstream application maintenance work. You can't expect applications to have the full git tree available at build or runtime to make some features conditionally available.
- dEnigma 4y agoThey changed their versioning scheme so 40 followed 3.38 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME#Releases https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME#Releases
