Hi,<br>
<br>
I propose that we use versioning in the form of "year.quarter".<br>
<br>
2017 would start with 17.0, then 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 for following<br>
quarters of the year, respectively.<br>
2018 would start with 18.0, then 18.1, 18.2, 18.3.<br>
<br>
The motivation is that you can easily tell when a specific Mesa<br>
version was released with an accuracy of 3 months.<br>
<br>
That's the only scheme that seems practical to me. Everything else<br>
seems arbitrary or random.<br>
<br>
Opinions?<br>

<br>
Why not just use year.month instead, would be more accurate...and<br>
releases happen semi random anyway and not after a given time.<br>

That's fine for something like Ubuntu where they really stick to their two releases per year, in the same months each year. I'm not so sure that that's a realistic goal for Mesa, and if releases *aren't* consistently happening in the same months, you end up introducing a lot of confusion about which version numbers exist and which don't.<br>
<br>
Time-based with YY.0 for the first release of the year, and then YY.1, YY.2, etc. works fine.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
