[Opensim-dev] Version Numbering Schemes

[Frisby, Adam]

I'd like to propose switching our version numbering schemes to something similar to how the Linux Kernel used to operate, whereby we have unstable and stable version numbers independent of each other.

For instance,

0.6.0 is a stable release
0.6.1 is under development
0.6.2 is stable, etc.


So as soon as we tag a stable release, we then increment the version number straight away up to an odd number to indicate that we're now working on potentially a not so stable version, when it returns to stability, we tag it again to an even number, add the tag & release, then increment back to an unstable one.

This way, when users say they are using 0.6.X, we can quickly determine if they are on a stable supported release, or bleeding edge.

Thoughts?
