Cool, I look forward to the next version (17) and the one after that too (28). This is the first Fibonacci version number scheme I've seen, maybe in the spirit of how TeX keeps adding digits of pi.
- telephonetemp 13y agoNot really a Fibonacci version number system since v(n + 1) = v(n) + n + 5, v(-1) = 0. It doesn't depend on v(n - 1), so while it's a recurrence relation it isn't a Fibonacci-type sequence. The next version should be 5 + 6 + 7 = 18, not 17.
- mden 13y agov(0) = 5 v(1) = 6 v(2) = 11 v(3) = v(1) + v(2) = 17 In general sequences, especially short ones, can have many ways to be generated, but I imagine this is the one the GP meant.
- telephonetemp 13y agoAh, I see. Unfortunately, this seems to imply that after the present version the project will stop incorporating new mainline releases of Perl (Perl 7 and on) and will instead focus on recombining the previous releases of itself.
