We do have the oddity (see ?version) that 3 is the major version number and 2.0 is the minor version number including 0 as the patchlevel, but we still call it a major release when the number in the middle changes (e.g. 1 changed to 2 in the 3.2.0 release). It's a patch release when only the patchlevel changes. Duncan Murdoch> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

The dynamics of actual major releases, i.e. x.0.0, are less predictable than the x.y.0 ones; up till now there has been one in each of 2000, 2004, 2013. They usually signify some degree of accomplishment and possibly discontinuity in the API. -pd> Duncan Murdoch > > >> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
