technically correct.. the best kind of correct
- jraph 11mo agoThe author is lucky the phrasing wasn't "there won't be another major version of htmx", or even "a third version".
- scuff3d 11mo agoFrom what I know of Carson from his writing and presentations, he probably worded it that way on purpose knowing he'd eventually do a new version, and he didn't want to miss an opportunity to troll everyone a bit.
- SquareWheel 11mo agoIt's an amusing solution, but if this ends up being anything like the missing PHP 6, it's also going to cause confusion for users. It might've been better to just mea culpa and release 3.0 anyway. I can't imagine anybody would really hold it against the author.
- johannes1234321 11mo agoWhat's the confusion around PHP 6? - There would have been a lot more confusion due to articles, talk slides, even printed books, .. talking about PHP 6's Unicode support would have been truly confusing.
- pavon 11mo agoAs long as they commit to making the next version after this htmx 8, I will be content with this versioning scheme.
- recursivedoubts 11mo agoif there is another version of htmx it will be 8 for sure
- jchanimal 11mo agohtmx forever
- halapro 11mo agoWhy skip version 7? It should be 6 7 Then 8
- adfm 11mo agodef 6 and 7
- b33j0r 11mo agoMeme versioning could work. Memes are temporal. You can derive a lot of information about my age and current version from the dad-joke version string “I thought it was 6 7 when 7 8 9”
- halapro 11mo agoYou might have to skip 9 to avoid faulty version checks

- hasanhaja 11mo agoMaybe the versioning should be powers of 2
- abnercoimbre 11mo agoA mea culpa would've been just fine. Even Big Tech can't keep their promises around this stuff (Windows 10 was the last OS remember?)
- panxyh 11mo agoTraditionally, software engineers are smart people
- Freedom2 11mo agoSource for this? After years in the industry, I believe otherwise at this point.
- rmunn 11mo agoThere are plenty of people with high INT and low WIS. As the old joke goes, intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad.
- scuff3d 11mo agoINT is knowing how to use Kubernetes, WIS is knowing when not to?
- nasretdinov 11mo agoI wonder if the intersection of HTMX and Kubernetes users is empty or not :). I wouldn't be surprised (and it'd be great!) if it is.
- themantri 11mo agoIt isn't! Source: I use both. :)
- drob518 11mo agoApple just jumped to version 26 across all its code bases. I think HTMX can survive with skipping to 4.
- SwiftyBug 11mo agoMaybe they could just initially launch v3.1 instead of a v3.0. They would still be technically correct.

- fmbb 11mo agoShould go directly to htmx 4.1, so we can finally have xhtmx 1.0
