Release numbering
2006-01-30 "Cameron states an excellent release numbering system, coincidentally the same as we used back in the days at Lecando:
-
A ‘dot-zero’ release (like 3.0) is allowed to drop deprecated APIs, change an API in a manner that could break binary compatibility, or change the JDK version requirement.
-
A ‘dot-X’ release (like 3.1) is only allowed to add features and APIs, but should not break any binary compatibility.
-
A ‘dot-X-dot-Y’ release (like 3.0.1) is a service pack, designed to correct specific problems, and not to introduce new features.
