[nvda] Re: What should the next version number be?

Yes, I thought of this as well. I mean, look at amd processors, not content with a stupid name like Duron, they had to code name it Morgan as well!
I still favour the year. It is what it says on the tin, so to speak, no need to look yp which is the latest, you would know pretty well which year it was built.

You could always establish a Department for Silly Names, like the people who brought you Longhorn and Vista. So you could have NVDA <Moonwalker, followed by NVDA SunTrkker, follwed by....um, freedom rider.... Oh, no, someone might 
sue you. I wouldn't like to say who that might be.

Hmm, you've also got to worry about what the name means in 65 other
languages. Remember the Rolls-Royce Silver Mist? Ok, back to the drawing
board.

No, but its not snazzy enough to convince people to try it out is it?
grin.
people like easy, easy is the year, in my view.
Notice on for example, File Hippo, you get given new versions of software
served up to you, and any beta ones. A nice name makes it clear what it
is, so people tell me.
Not that I'm suggesting allowing file hippo to have it, but then again...

Hi there,

I think the current versioning system is ok, but just needs to be made a
little more clear.

so in other words, version nvda_0.6p3.2_installer could be stated as
nvda_rel0.6pre3.2_installer.
So reading it one would know: it's a release of 0.6 of a preview at stage 
3
with a miner repair at that stage

Its not that difficult to follow if you really think about it.


Kind regards,
Mike
