[Gambas-user] Program Version conventions

[Gordon Findlay]

Now if only we could all agree on that matter!

But everyone has slightly varying conventions, although for some projects
the conventions are only followed loosely.

The most carefully thought through set of "standards" I know of is ESRs
"Software Release Practice HOWTO", to be found at
http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Release-Practice-HOWTO/

Like everything else, it's controversial.
