Re: [Gearbox-devel] version numbering

[Alex B. <a.b...@ac...>]

Dates sound good to me.

What do you think about appending a digit, eg "08-jul.0"?
We've been thinking about software stability/freezing etc (eg sticking to a 
particular version of some distribution for critical applications).  We'd 
need some way to get bugfixes though (while the mainline marches on 
to "08-dec.0"), incrementing the final digit to indicate "bugfix-only" would 
be a solution.
