Ask HN: what's the highest version number ever seen?

6 points by ziodave 12y ago

I am wondering, what is the highest version number (years used as versions do not apply) ever seen, before the software name is maybe changed?

Google Chrome? ;) Isn't it over version 30 now?

  Yes, I was thinking about Chrome, it's at 34, and Firefox is following. It just popped in my mind Terminator (although it's a hardware), like the T1000 :-)

    Since the T1000 is from the future, that's cheating. In the near future Chrome will be version 10^100 at least.

systemd is first that pops to mind. They're at 212, I think. Though given they seem to skip any point versions, that may be seen as "cheating".

  I wonder how they increase the version numbers. A couple of years ago weren't they around version 6?

A revision number on almost any software. x264 is 2431, ffmpeg is 62612.

Unreal Engine 3 started off with a build number of 3376, building ontop of the previous engine builds (Unreal Tournament came out at build 300). http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Unreal_Engine_Versions http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Unreal_Engine_Versions
