Keep in mind that not all projects use the semantic versioning we typically see (ie major.minor.patch).
There’s a type of versioning called “ZeroVer” where the version is -never- to exceed 0.x.x.

According to that site, the software ASCEND (0.9.8) was first released over 45 years ago.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI have never seen that site before, but taking a look right now, my conclusion is that it is satire.
- basic612 3y agoThe site appears to be quite tongue in cheek however the table of 0.x projects looks like quite the valid reference.
- idiocratic 3y agoTrue but that site is satire https://0ver.org/about.html https://0ver.org/about.html
- bhaak 3y agoNot the first joke to be taken for real and being used by far too many people because they find it useful.

- bmicraft 3y ago> used by far too many people because they find it useful. I don't think that's true.
- ahofmann 3y agoWell, it seems to be true. This thread is the best example.
- appplication 3y agoInability to release 1.0 of any software is driven by indecision and/or a lack of confidence in the stability of your product. Nothing more. If you’re decisive about meaningful features on realistic milestones and confident that you have a stable system, there is no reason to not 1.0.

- smitty1e 3y agoAnd the related Metafont converges to e. Knuth for the transcendental win!
- reikonomusha 3y agoIt would be a transcendental tragedy, because those versions only truly become transcendental when Knuth dies. :(
- nailer 3y agoKnuth also has his own definition of bug, limited to mathematical incorrectness.
- arunc 3y agoInteresting to know that zer0ver exists! Do you know how they claim it to be the most popular versioning scheme?
- alanbernstein 3y agoIt's probably true if you assume every "first commit" project starts at 0.0.1. I don't think they put much thought into justifying it though.
