sympa7 versioning

Sympa 7 versioning scheme [DRAFT]

Here versioning scheme for Sympa 7 is described. This is not applied to prior versions of Sympa, 6.2.x and earlier.

Format is one of following:

<major>.<minor>-<pre>

<major>.<minor>.<micro>

A version number consists of following parts:

• <major> is major version number. It is always 7.

• <minor> is minor version number. It should be increased whenever significant change or addition is made.

• <pre> and <micro> should not coexist.

  • <pre> is pre-release version. alpha, beta or either of them suffixed by number, e.g. alpha11, beta3.

  • <micro> is patch level. It should begin with 0 by each minor version, and should be increased when insignificant change or fix is made.

Bad examples

These are bad examples and should not really be used.

• 7.0

  No <pre> nor <micro>.

• 7.1.2-beta

• 7.1-beta2.0

  Both <pre> and <micro> appear.
