Code Management: Difference between revisions

Although this is usually less important than the previous concern, you need to keep the way different versions are numbered consistent. Some number versions sequentially (e.g. ''0.1'', then ''0.2'', then ''0.3''...) while others increment the minor version (e.g. the ''2'' in ''1.2'') number sequentially for small updates and only increment the major version number (the first number in the version) only when they add a major improvement to the projects. Some also add revision and build numbers, which are incremented by some random number every time a change is made to a file, which gives weird version numbers such as ''2.2.11127.56150'', which are hard to remember.

 

 

[http://semver.org/ "Semantic Versioning"] is an attempt to unify versioning schemes. You probably already use a scheme that is close to this one.
