I'm afraid most, if not all, of the projects listed use pride versioning, also.

This is hilarious

I really had to fight for versioning. Everyone was just patch version here. Breaking changes in the API, new features, completely overhauled design? Well, it's 0.6.24 instead of 0.6.23 now.

But gladly we're moving away from version numbers alltogether. Starting next year it will be 2025.1.0 with monthly releases

I once had someone open an issue in my side project repo who asked about a major release bump and whether it meant there were any breaking changes or major changes and I was just like idk I just thought I added enough and felt like bumping the major version ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I think is the logic used for Linux kernel versioning so you're in good company.

But everyone should really follow semantic versioning. It makes life so much easier.

either have meaning to the number and do semantic versioning, or don't bother and simply use dates or maybe simple increments

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Date based version numbers is just lazy. There's nothing more significant about a release in two weeks (2025.x.y) than today (2024.x.y).

At least with pride versioning there's some logic to it.

The fairly mature internal component we're working on is v0.0.134.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

For an internal project that's fine, and under semantic versioning you can basically break anything you like before v1.0.0 so it's probably valid

A shameful display!

I read this as pride as in flag-gay-pride

Is + when they stop counting versions and just use a SaaS model?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The + is just standing for latest

I prefer LGBTQIA-bin, my computer was in the closet for 10 years so the git version takes too long to compile

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Lmao yes
Arch and queer, name a better duo

This is is basically just true

[–] [email protected] 23 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I wish it was true here. Major releases are always the most shameful ones because so much is always left to "we can fix that later"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago

Hey as long as it ships it can always be an RMA. If there's a problem the customer will let us know™

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

So pride is a synonym for semantic. Got it.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

when the release notes just says "bug fixes"

"We are always hard at work making your experience better!"
This release note has of course been the same for the last 3 years

That reminds me, maybe I should re-watch Doug Hickey’s full-throated attack on versioning & breaking changes. Spec-ulation Keynote

Thought it's 2.7.1828182845904523536 for a sec
