Re: [Arsperl-users] upcoming release - proposed 1.94

[jeff m. <jcm...@je...>]

I generally follow semver on my projects (i was the one who mentioned it to Tim). CPAN doesnt like the second doc, so I used a loose interpretation of semver for perl projects. maj.min where maj denotes “things will break” and min denotes “things wont break”. for a while i did eg 1.6000 .. but that didnt last ;)

that being said, i dont have a strong pref in this case. we’re so close to 1.99 (and so running out of minors..) that i dont mind going to 2.0. whatever ppl want.. i’ll be out of town from noon tomorrow (eastern) until the 31st.. so decide in the next 13 hours! or the cpan push will have to wait until i get back..
