<div class="moz-cite-prefix">OSGrid and OpenSim are two different
things. OSGrid is a grid; OpenSim is the software. The two are
developed/operated by completely different groups of people. <br>
<br>
OpenSim makes tagged releases every few months. Releases are
identified by a number followed by the suffix RELEASE. We just did
0.8 (RELEASE), now we are working towards 0.8.1 or, maybe, 0.9 --
to be decided. In between tagged releases, a lot of development
takes place. That development is open source, and available to
everyone who likes to live life on the edge. At any point in time,
the existing working tag for OpenSim is the tag of the next
release followed by the suffix DEV. So currently, it's 0.8.1(DEV).
The DEV snapshots may be unstable and are works in progress. There
are new commits every day.<br>
<br>
OSgrid chooses to always follow the latest developments in
OpenSim, so that it can serve as a testbed. They use the current
DEV tag in OpenSim, along with a commit prefix, as that is the
best identifier for what the code entails. They package the
current OpenSim every week or so. <br>

<div>Hi everyone- <br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks for the explanation, but that begs another
question...<br>
<br>
</div>
Now that official version 0.8 is out does OSG go to
0.9DEV and does the latest version of OSG's version of
OS now fold in the released version 0.8? Does what
happens at OSG become a part of the newly released V0.8
or is it a separate thing?<br>
<br>
</div>
In my opinion OSG should stay within the designation of OS
that OS.org has laid out and not leap forward a version #.
It is like we have to drag OSG back when a new version is
officially released.<br>
<br>
</div>
If OSG wants to be at the bleeding edge, then maybe the next
release for them should be something like OSGv0.8DEV.xxxx.
then the version would be the same and not ahead as the OSG
version is not really a version ahead, just ahead in some
ways.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Anyway this version number disparity has confused the
heck out of me over the years!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Just my 2 cents! Maybe not even worth that!<br>
