For me I usually start at 0.1 or something like that, then increment to 0.2 when I add more features, then go to 0.2.1 when I have a small bugfix, and so on, then 1.0 when the code is kinda finished and polished (i.e. out of beta). Then I could go to 2.0 when I write important rewrites or some event like that. But still, I increment the numbers when I feel like so.

I ended up doing this:

a.bb.ccc

a is the main number, b is for medium to small updates, and ccc is the compile number.

It's a bit long, though.  I'm probably going to change it.

I have yet to decide on a versioning system that I want to use for all my projects but generally I do like:
a.b.c where a is a final release, b is a major change, and c is a minor change
I also have used a.b where a is a major change and b is a minor change I think

For TI-Boy SE, my versioning started with Alpha 0.0.1, and following versions with small bugfixes were Alpha 0.0.2 and Alpha 0.0.3.

The next version will probably be Alpha 0.1.0, because it has a completely new codebase.
This means the final version (1.0.0) will also feature GBA emulation? ;D

TI did that with the TI-83 in europe: it is now called the TI-82 STATS.

They're the same thing? o.O

Yeah.

The TI-83 was discontinued in 2000 or 2001 worldwide. 3 years later, TI re-released it in France, renamed to the TI-82 STATS. It confused people in thinking it's a 82 with new 83 functions, until people discovered 83 programs ran on it but not 82 ones.

Maybe they will soon release the TI-81 STATS, which will be the TI-82 ;D

Version a.b.c.d
« Reply #38 on: November 28, 2010, 07:25:17 pm »
Hey everyone,

All of us have noticed that we release version 0.1, then 0.2, sometimes we jump, 0.4 and then we release a stable, 1.0 and then we keep up, 1.1.1, 1.1.4, 1.1.8.

Personally, I do that 'randomly', just to look professional I do stuff like:

  • Version 0.1
  • Version 0.2
  • Version 0.4
  • Version 0.9
  • Version 1.0
  • Version 1.1
  • Version 1.4
  • Version 1.4.1

Do you count number of updates, or you do like me?


EDIT: It's not totally random, major updates, larger difference, smaller updates, smaller difference in the version's names

Merged this with the other existing version numbering discussion.

I think people starts at 0.01 or 0.1 depending of their compeltion percentage. It's generally an estimate.

I think... people generally do it however they feel like it, and usually try their best to stay consistent, with varying results.

Myself, I just try to think of how much is still to be done, and split the project into multiple parts.
In my sig, most of the numbers are kind of made up, but they convey a general idea.
I don't quite believe I'm done with TWHG just yet, but I see it as done for now.

I usually start at 0.1 or 0.0.1 (the latter is usually for when I start and little code is wrote), I change the 3rd number for small bugfixes, the second when I have a signifiant amount of improvement. I switch to 1.0 when I feel the software is 100% complete, ready to be shipped in boxes if I were in a company who does that and I change the 1st number when I have a really major improvement or rewrote a lot, if not all the code.

Good for the topic to be merged :)

Serious companies such as Microsoft and Google have it all documented:

7.0.517.44

This is my version of Google Chrome (the latest), it's huge, so I think they really care about this number, though.

Just to let you know (in case you wanted a newer version), 8.0.552.210 is out :)

And yeah, a lot of really big products use long numbers. Kinda overdoing it for a calculator project, though. A.BB.CCC or something like that seems pretty good already.
