IMPORTANT: FiveWin version number system to change

Post by Antonio Linares »

We have been considering to change the FiveWin version number using the same way as Ubuntu Linux does:

The year and the month, i.e.: next build will be 6.12 meaning that is released on 2006 December. i.e.: Next year, February: 7.02

This way we don't have to ask users about the dates of the libraries that they are using. The FW/FWH/FWPPC version number will mean year and month.

We believe this is a very good idea in order to provide a better tech support. We appreciate your comments, thanks!
regards, saludos

Antonio,

I'm sure it will be a little confusing at first, but it sure will be a lot easier than having to specify both a version and build no. I like it.

I do it a bit differently but its the same idea:

8.64.24 would be Version 8, year 2006, quarter 4, 2 month, 4th release. This allows me to fine tune the versions very nicely.
