I was wondering if we can adopt some version naming like consisting of 4 digit groups.
I don't see any benefits, other that forcing Yoav to recompile the installer all the time ;)
Well, when rolling out any release, this still has to be done. Whether the name of the release (or interim) build would be 5.5-whatever, the 'ant release' has to be run.
Anyhow, IMO it would give more control over tags, naming, etc. Take for example the current 5.0.28. After the release I've found out that the win installer wrongly set the tmpdir (issue already resolved in the HEAD). Since this has nothing to do with the core itself, simply rolling out the 5.0.28.1 would help, cause it's the same release but with the 'patchlevel 1'.
It would also offer the option to include the 'critical' updates, without the need for a complete release, so that we could increase the release time frame, but still keep bugfixes.
Also having some release voted as stable, will not require another vote just to resolve some bug fix, cause no new features would be added. Right now we are both bugfixing together with the new features been added in the meantime (with it's own bugs :)).
