Hi,
Hey,
just one very quick and possibly stupid idea. How about getting rid of the 0 version prefix and calling the next release 1.0? This would be just numbering change, not some milestone based on features that have to be implemented (similarly to renumbering linux kernel from 2.6.x to 3.0).
[...]
Next Geany release is very near (2011-10-01 or 2011-10-02 UTC), and since the thread seems to show nobody is strongly against a versioning change and some seems to think it's a very good idea, I think it's time to make a decision.
I've created a Doodle poll [1][2], and I invite everyone to give his/her opinion. Note that there are 9 possible options, make sure you see all them ;) The final choice will be made just before releasing, but it's close so don't postpone if you want to give your opinion.
Also if you think it's not time for a change but you also think that after 0.21 it'd be good, please still vote for 0.21 -- I didn't wanted (or forgot? :D) to add this to the poll yet not to confuse it.
If it's too late to bump the version number for the upcoming release, 0.21 can be used for the release and the bump to 1.0 (1.22, ...) can be done as part of post-release version increment.
My personal preference is 1.21 > 1.0 > 0.21 though. By the way, any other ordering doesn't fit mathematically and is therefore wrong. Q.E.D.
