We're not talking about “every project”. We are talking specifically about Python, where “minor version” has the meaning Gablo used. $ python3 Python 3.5.2+ (default, Dec 13 2016, 14:16:35) [GCC 6.2.1 20161124] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.version_info.major 3 >>> sys.version_info.minor 5 >>> sys.version_info.micro 2 So, the changes Andrey describes are not changes in the minor version. > In some, like Perl, Python, GNOME, when the first number changes you have > a different language/DE.
