OTOH, the work on smart pointers you did in the past changed the API as well. Those things are pretty easy with having a "0.x" from almost every point of view. So in my opinion, creating a versioning scheme to distinguish two different versions from each other is fine. Switching to 1.0 only because X time has past is not. I'm using other projects as well in production keeping 0.x versions and don't care too much. > Part of the question with that as well is what platforms and > compilers are supported, as Thorsten uses a very old compiler. In the worst case, I'm simply forking and using the old code base for my needs until I get the resources to upgrade my projects. Need to do that anyway at some point, just didn't have the resources yet. > So would it make sense to have two branches for development, the > "legacy" 0.XX version and a new 1.XX version that depends on (at > least) C++11? Seems pretty uncommon to me to actively develop/maintain a 0.x and a 1.x, doesn't it? So maybe prefer a 0.x -> 1.x -> 2.x and maintain 1.x and 2.x only? OTOH, 2.x might make people believe in compatibility with log4j2 too much? Let's explicitly ask on the list if any legacy version supporting old compilers is if interest at all? I might be the only one, in which case it's not worth taking care too much at all. I'm fine with what 0.x provides currently and am not sure if I would enhance that version at all if I needed to, in favour of upgrading to 1.x first and enhancing afterwards. Legacy always is a dead-end after all.
