[pilot-db-list] DB 0.3.3

[<aji...@t-...>]

The new features that have been included in the
Alpha version of DB 0.3.3 are fantastic.

Thanks to all developers for that!

I would like to make the suggestion, that we
should now concentrate on perfecing, completing
and stabilizing these implemented features and 
on removing the bugs.

Any new features should be planned for the next
release (0.3.4).

Any comments?

Hans

P.S. Can anyone explain the logic behind the
     version numbering 0.3.1 -> 0.3.2 etc.?
     I am unfamiliar with it, since I have
     mainly had experience with the Windows OS
     up till now.
     What do the first, second and third digits
     stand for? Does the "0" signify that this
     is not a finsihed product?

Sure,
Scott just complete its works, and it's a great job. First time it was features (Float and Calculated) i wanted to add because it seems to me too hard to implement.
Now, we must stabilize this version, but before i must complete some features:
 * the sorting from new field types.
 * the filtering which should display records in more than only one filter.
 * the sample translation file.
 * all plugins rebuilded for this version + new plugins.
In a close future (one week or a little more) you will see the first beta version inside the snapshot part on the download page.
After i will wait two weeks without bug report, and all translation files (I'm looking for a SPANISH translater!!!)
Then perhaps we will have the 0.3.3 release at the end of November or December!
Salut,
Marc.

PS: for the version numbering the 0 means that it's a developement version and the first implementation, the second digit tells the version of database format, and the third is only a version number. I think that in the beginning of the next year we will have the 1.3.0 version with all current features minus the bugs.

Salut,
Marc.

When I was the maintainer, I numbered the very initial version of DB 0.10, 
0.11, 0.19. Then instead of going to 0.20, I decided to number it 0.2.0 to 
match the GNU style for version numbers which is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCHLEVEL. Then 
versions 0.2.0, 0.2.1, ..., 0.2.5 came out. When I changed the database 
format to make it more extensible, I bumped the second version number to 
0.3.0.

You are right, the initial 0 was for that fact that it was not a finished 
product at the time. However, with all the great new features that Marc has 
added as the maintainer and the contributions of others, DB may deserve a 
1.0.0 version number for its next release. It is up to Marc since he is the 
maintainer. :) (Or maybe a "0.9.0" version number which usually means "It is 
almost 1.0.0.")

I am glad Tom brought this up because I have been thinking
along similar lines for some time.  I think it would be a
better representation of the DB package to advance the number
closer to 1.0.  Or to redefine the goals & requirements for
what 1.0 means.  I think people would think better of it and
more readily accepts it's use if the number were 1.0.  Further
development can be defined to be a post 1.0 release.  Comments?
