FBA version name
« on: September 10, 2015, 05:02:23 PM »
Hello there!

Just one (silly) doubt about the FBA version name. What is the reason to use such loooong numbers like 0.2.97.34; 0.2.97.35, 0.2.97.36... instead something simpler like 0.27; 0.28; 029... or something meaningful like Ubuntu's version name (year/month)?   :S

I like them, its different.  different = good, etc.

Although, to this day I still couldn't tell someone the current fba version if I was asked out of the blue :)

Maybe the next release can be 1.0, the one after 2.0, etc.
Or maybe next version could be named 0.37, instead 0.2.97.37.  :rolleyes:
Anyway, talking about the FBA Download page section, it would be nice to see a column of the "Release date" in the previous versions table and also a .txt of the changelog, just like the link below:

But just wondering... as the emulator carries "Alpha" on its own name, perhaps thats the reason to use such "0 dotted" version names.  :biggrin:

I still think that, when it comes to version numbers: the more confusing - the better.
Though, I like the date thing.
