If this is the first release candidate, can you explain the difference between this and the 3.0.2 that was released a month or so ago? I'm a bit confused now on the numbering.
I have been assuming that the numbering is:
x.y.z
x = major revision -- I do not expect to preside over one of these! ASDF 2 was a major clean-up. ASDF 3 added substantial improvements in dependency tracking, etc.
y = change to API
z = patch release
This is what is enshrined in the ASDF versioning predicates, so I figured I would stick with that.
Yes, that's about what it is. There's a comment around one of the occurrences of the version string, explaining the version scheme.
Faré has always put a revision tag on everything, I suppose to make it easier to identify where bugs appear and don't, etc. So I have been sticking with this standard practice by adding that extra .1.
Actually, (a) I've only systematically put a git tag but on released versions and a few notable other versions; but (b) I've tried to bump the version number any time there was a change in asdf.lisp, so the number can always be used to precisely identify the code in a bug report. That's why (c) I've been using an extra digit such as this .1 in unreleased versions, to distinguish any two versions pushed to master. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org It should be a grammatical if not legal offense to ascribe thoughts, opinions and decisions to "we" without a signed power of attorney.
