I use CalVer in my projects. I might transition to SemVer some time, but given that most of my projects are standalone, it doesn't make much sense to track external compatibility.

Pride Versioning makes no sense, because In never quite proud enough of my work to distinguish it from 0ver.

[–] numanair@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Just add a leading "0."

Edit: TIL 0ver

I've noticed this and seeing it all laid out is hilarious. (So, so many JS frameworks omg)

Is this basically so they can forever say: "Well don't expect it to be feature complete, it's not even 1.0 yet!" ??

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 7 points 20 hours ago

I'm afraid most, if not all, of the projects listed use pride versioning, also.

[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 4 points 20 hours ago

This is hilarious

I really had to fight for versioning. Everyone was just patch version here. Breaking changes in the API, new features, completely overhauled design? Well, it's 0.6.24 instead of 0.6.23 now.

But gladly we're moving away from version numbers alltogether. Starting next year it will be 2025.1.0 with monthly releases

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 hour ago

Release please with conventional commit PR titles.

[–] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I once had someone open an issue in my side project repo who asked about a major release bump and whether it meant there were any breaking changes or major changes and I was just like idk I just thought I added enough and felt like bumping the major version ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I think is the logic used for Linux kernel versioning so you're in good company.

But everyone should really follow semantic versioning. It makes life so much easier.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

either have meaning to the number and do semantic versioning, or don't bother and simply use dates or maybe simple increments

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Date based version numbers is just lazy. There's nothing more significant about a release in two weeks (2025.x.y) than today (2024.x.y).

At least with pride versioning there's some logic to it.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 hours ago

the point is just to have a way to tell releases apart, if every release is version 5 then you're going to start self harming

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The fairly mature internal component we're working on is v0.0.134.

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 3 points 17 hours ago

For an internal project that's fine, and under semantic versioning you can basically break anything you like before v1.0.0 so it's probably valid

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 points 20 hours ago

A shameful display!

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 74 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is is basically just true

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish it was true here. Major releases are always the most shameful ones because so much is always left to "we can fix that later"

[–] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

Hey as long as it ships it can always be an RMA. If there's a problem the customer will let us know™

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 1 day ago

So pride is a synonym for semantic. Got it.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I read this as pride as in flag-gay-pride

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pride versioning:

  • LG
  • LGB
  • LGBT
  • LGBTQ
  • LGBTQI
  • LGBTQIA
  • LGBTQIA+

Is + when they stop counting versions and just use a SaaS model?

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The + is just standing for latest

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

I prefer LGBTQIA-bin, my computer was in the closet for 10 years so the git version takes too long to compile

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 3 points 1 day ago

Lmao yes
Arch and queer, name a better duo

[–] buh@hexbear.net 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

when the release notes just says "bug fixes"

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 18 hours ago

"We are always hard at work making your experience better!"
This release note has of course been the same for the last 3 years

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That reminds me, maybe I should re-watch Doug Hickey’s full-throated attack on versioning & breaking changes. Spec-ulation Keynote

Thought it's 2.7.1828182845904523536 for a sec
