Rails core - Oct 2008 - Version Numbers for the RC Release

Hey guys,

So the last time we did an RC we chose the version number of 2.0.99,
and this caused some problems for people and led to a pretty heated
test.  So, the draft plan this time is:

* 2.2.0 for RC1
* 2.2.0.N for RCN
* 2.2.1 for Final 2.2 release

However, this is ''kinda weird'' so before we commit to that
plan, I''d
like to review the reasons people gave for wanting to make this
change.

So if you were bitten by the previous numbering scheme, can you please
let us know the scenario which bit you and how this new version number
may or may not help.

Cheers

Koz

It might be more consistent to make RC1 be 2.2.0.1, but this is fine.

The basic idea is that 2.1 is not 2.2.  If people want to stay on 2.1, or do
a version check (for backward compatibility code in a plugin, for example),
they can do checks like this "=2.1.0", and not pick up any RC or
release
version ">=2.2.0"
