HI-
I was just wondering how you come up with the version numbers. Are the rules for numbering standardized?
For instance, version 1.X.y
I realize the X represents a major modification and y less so, but what are the rules exactly?
We are on 1.10.0(33) right now, 33 = ? A third of a tenth of a major change???
Just curious,
Brookston

X.Y.Z (B)
X = Major Version. We are currently on Major Version 1 of Second Life
Y = Minor Version. We are currently on the 10th Minor Version of Version 1 of Second Life
Z = Patch. We have just released 1.10, there have been no patches so we are on patch 0.
B = Build number. As a patch goes through testing there are several iterations that get sent to QA, internal preview and external preview. Each of these iterations is a new build. There were 32 builds of Second Life 1.10 before it was released.
Sometimes bugs that need to be fixed are so minor we decide to keep the patch number the same and just bump the build number. This seems to be happening more lately.
