All software. GEMS. AVTS.
AVOS. Card Manager. You name it.
A.B.C(.i)
A - marketing
number. bump when something is rewritten (seems to happen a lot with some
projects) or when Barry feels like we can charge more for a bigger
number.
B - major release
number. changes that affect system compatibility.
C - minor release
number. changes that don't affect system compatibility.
i - internal pre-releases
created during testing and development before a public release
Outside a numbering system, major release
branches are declared stable or development. Only bugfix changes are
made to stable release branches. That is, no new features are added to a
stable release, whether it would affect compatibility or not. By their
nature, only stable releases should be sent for certification.
Right now, GEMS 1.11 and 1.17 are stable.
