In general, I understand that a small version change might be 1.1 to 1.2 and a large change might be 1.0 to 2.0, but what exactly determines a version number?
Is there a consistent industry standard? (e.g. 100 bug fixes = a .5 increase) Or is it at the whim of the developer?
Just curious....
Questions 2 & 3: No, and yes. In that order.
I thought so. Thanks!
.... it's whatever you want it to be. see firefox going chrome style version number inflation
And that's a perfect example.
Firefox was issuing incremental updates as "7.XY," until it became apparent that Chrome appeared to be making more progress by giving each new incremental update a new major release number. Soon thereafter, Firefox followed suit.
I'll say this for Stardock: they don't fake you out on game updates.
Indeed.. running Firefox 17! here right now... it could be easily 8.... at best 9... going by the features.
you must be joking.. can't be more than 4 or 5 something in the old style..
didn't they get 3.5 so delayed they call it 4 or something... and then numbers start inflating?
wait.. they called 3.1->3.5... did a 3.6 then jump to 4,5, etc
