For Taler libraries, we use libtool semantic versioning -conventions. - -Taler software release version numbers use the scheme -MAJOR.MINOR-PACKAGE. - -Here, MAJOR is used to indicate the compatibility level and is -increased for all significant releases that are always made across all -Taler components. - -The MINOR numbers is used for small updates that may address minor -issues but do not break compatibility. MINOR release may be made only -for a particular component, leaving other components untouched. Hence -you should expect to see say an exchange version 4.5 and a wallet -version 4.10. As they both start with "4", they are expected to be -protocol-compatible. - -PACKAGE is reserved for distributions, such as Debian. These distributions -may apply their own patch sets or scripting, and they are expected to -increment PACKAGE. The upstream Taler releases will just be of the -format MAJOR.MINOR. - ------------------------ -Alpha and Beta releases ------------------------ - -Before Taler is considered reasonably stable for actual use, we will -prefix the number "0." to the release version. Thus, all alpha and -beta releases will have a three-digit release number of the form -"0.MAJOR.MINOR". - ------------------------ -Roadmap ------------------------ - -A roadmap with the features we plan to have in each release is -in our bugtracker at https://gnunet.org/bugs/. The roadmap -is subject to change. |
