Re: SVN version numbering

2018-10-31 Thread Winston Smith
What does the prefix "1." mean Major versions are usually used to denote API versions. It is expected that on at least some level, all minor revisions of version 1 are somewhat compatible to each other, bar new features introduced in later minor revisions. Conversely, there is no expectation th
