Thread: Release Announcement News Item -- please read
WWW Folks, The release announcement news item has been posted to wwwmaster. Please DO NOT APPROVE THIS until Marc gives the thumbs-up, which will probably be Monday AM EST. In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if someone checked my formatting and links. Thanks! -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Thanks! Looks good to me. One question though - is "patch release" the normal term for these? I thought we used to call them "minor versions"? I could well be wrong on this :-) But if "patch release" is what we call them, I know at least one page I wrote recently (the security one) needs updating, so it'd be good to know. //Magnus

We've always referred to our versioning scheme as major.minor.revision, but...

I guess we'll see what they come up with.

Personally, I'm trying to come up with a term that indicates this is a "fix" release and does not contain new features or require a drop and reload. "Minor Release" is a rather obscure term for non-insiders. My tendency is towards "Update Release" or "Revision Release". -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

I like "minor release", that's what we've generally called these in the
past.

I'm going to side with both Bruce and Tom on this one ... historically, its what we've called it, and, as Robert states, it is how we've always advertised things ... ---- Marc G.

Seems the release announcement calls it both critical release, minor release and patch version. So I'll just approve this news item without editing. Should be up on the site next regen. //Magnus
