Jamus_Divinus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) ...we will get updates 1.8 & 1.9 before release or is it just going to jump to 2.0? Your guess is as good as mine. I'd say that with the 6-8 week cycle in mind, we'll get both 1.8 and 1.9 before Makeb (2.0) is released in June. Purely a guess though.

Atramar Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 from naming point of view, we could have 2.0 from 1.2 it doesn't have to go to 1.9 to go 2.0, read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediCahlwyn Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 No no, just no. The next update we will receive is 2.0. They don't have to fill in every tenth until they reach a new whole number. This isn't math class. They could have had 1.48 if they wanted. 2.0 signifies a new content/expansion. WoW (and many other MMOs before it) does the same thing. 2.0 is Makeb. The release date is still "Spring" which is March, April, or May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malastare Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) No. Quiz: In standard software version numbering, what is the name given to the next full release after version 1.9 ... Answer: 1.10 Quiz: In standard software version numbering, how many releases exist between version 1.7 and version 2.0 ... Answer: Any number you like (so long as its in the set of non-negative integers) including zero. As noted above, version numbers are not floating-point values (at least, they shouldn't be).

Jamus_Divinus Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 2.0 is Makeb. The release date is still "Spring" which is March, April, or May. Spring lasts til June 22nd iirc. So June the 15th is still considered 'Spring'. At least where I come from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogoer Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 No. Quiz: In standard software version numbering, what is the name given to the next full release after version 1.9 ... Answer: 1.10 No its not, 1.9 is 1.9000000~ . 1.09 would go to 1.10, but technically it would be 1.1.0. Version numbers consist of one digit space and increment the upper level by 1 when hitting 9. The caveat of this is they could hit 1.9 and then start 1.9.1, 1.9.2 until they had to hit 2.0 or any scheme there in if they wanted. They could use 1.9.9.9.1 if they really wanted or more. Everyone else is right too. Skipping versioning, especially for minor version numbers is common. It's all based on what you fixed or changed or added. Under that same scenario adding minor minor versions is also common and isn't always part of a major version scheme. Makeb is most certainly a major update and warrants a major version increase.

Khevar Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Quiz: In standard software version numbering, what is the name given to the next full release after version 1.9 Answer: 1.10 Not since the marketing department took over software versioning numbers.

chuixupu Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Given the amount of time, I'd say it is *possible* that they could throw in another update before 2.0, but I it would probably be just a lot of technical things, I don't foresee them suddenly conjuring up more content while they're working on Makeb.

Icebergy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 There most likely will not be a 1.8 or a 1.9, they can make as many numbers as they want. There COULD have been a 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 etc if they chose to make it that way, but they did not. For example, in WoW they went from 3.4 to 4.0 With the Cata expac.

Koyaanisqat Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 ...we will get updates 1.8 & 1.9 before release or is it just going to jump to 2.0? That's now how Versions work. VersionNum.RevisionNum. Revisions can go as long as they want to. You can have 1.23 if it goes on that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varies based on the "view" by system architect but We use: Release Version- typically a new feature / architecture change Release Update- typically new features within existing architecture Release Maintenance- typically bug fix I just released an internal update to a work system and it is 2.5.11 We are testing on 3.0.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
