Hi everyone,
For the past few years, I used major.minor versioning scheme for my add-ons
except Windows 10 App Essentials. The major number was incremented whenever
a version with new features was released, with minor version denoting minor
enhancements, fixes and translation updates. Although it worked out well, it
led to an issue where people found out they were using old releases (also
caused by lack of add-on update facility).
To make it easier for people to find out which add-on version they are
using, to make add-on versions uniform across add-ons and to make new
features available in a predictable manner (via time-based releases), I'm
thinking about migrating add-on versioning scheme for my add-ons to follow
year.month designations (for example, GoldWave 16.08). This would allow
users to easily find out which version of the add-on they are using so they
can compare against latest version out there, and for me to release new
versions upon request and on a timely manner. It also helps in eliminating
major.x maintenance branches so maintenance can be performed from
master/stable branches (an exception is for add-ons that have long-term
support (LTS) branches such as SPL Studio).
Comments from users of the following add-ons are requested:
* Control Usage Assistant
* Easy Table Navigator
* Enhanced Touch Gestures
* GoldWave
* Resource Monitor
* StationPlaylist Studio
* Windows 10 App Essentials
Comments from others in the community are also welcome. Thanks.
Cheers,
Joseph
