In the second digit I think it depends on the number of new features added for how many digits they go up. Like with 3.0 --> 3.5, it was a huge overhaul but with 3.5 --> 3.6 there were new features added but not near as big an upgrade as the 3.5 upgrade.

For instance: Say you have vB 2.9.0 (which was a MAJOR release) and then they come out with another MAJOR release, it would be labeled 3.0.0 (29 -> 30) At least, that's how I think it should work. And the y should just be minor feature additions and security releases. It makes more sense to proportion it that way. Bigger numbers should mean bigger releases. | ||||

B: Incremented when a new patch, or bug fix is released C: Incremented every time there is a code change D: Development Stage Letter. (A: Alpha, B: Beta, RC: Release Candidate, G: Gold)

| Title: Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 72 Location: Cincinnati, Ohio ![]() | For SMF: Betas: BetaX - Typical format here (X = beta number) BetaX.Y - Indicates a patch/minor revision for the beta BetaX Public or BetaX.Y Public - Indicates that this is a public beta that was released to Charter members first. Generally this is used when there are changes between the initial beta release and the time it gets to the public. Release candidates: RCX - X indicates the release candidate number. When a patch or minor update is released in between RCs, the version number in the footer doesn't change, but the version number of any patched files gets changed to "RCX-Y" (RC2-2, etc.). Stable release: X.Y - X is the major revision, Y is the release within that revision/branch. Y is incremented whenever a new version is released, but indicates that while there were significant changes, it is not a complete overhaul/rewrite. X.Y.Z - Used for patches/minor updates (1.1.2, 1.1.3)
