At that rate, FreeDOS will be at 9.0 in a matter of months over things that really amount to a .01 moniker...but hey I aint the boss, just a player in the game...
For example, Imre just fixed a bug in CHKDSK and the kernel syncs (including findfirst/findnext) may get a 1.1, but any fixes after that should probably very, very minor....unless of course there is a MAJOR rewrite that I am not aware of...like when MS-DOS introduced file handles in 2.0 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Hall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 4:20 PM Subject: Re: [Freedos-devel] Update proposal Using 2-digit subversions ("1.01") looks too similar to "1.0.1" kind of naming. I'd rather we reserve those numbers for bug-fix releases that don't add any new functionality. For standard distributions, I prefer we use the simpler 1-digit subversions. In my mind, if we make 9 small updates after "1.0", the 10th update really should get labelled "2.0". Maybe the functionality in that "2.0" isn't very major from the previous releases, but it's still an increase in functionality over "1.0". -jh Aitor Santamaría wrote: > May I suggest two decimal cyphers?
