After v1.0 is released, I can finally get back to sane version numbers. But any comments on which one is better:
a) Postfix-style: "1.1.UNSTABLE.YYYYMMDD" -> 1.1.0 (stable)
b) Odd-even numbering: 1.1.x (unstable) -> 1.2.0 (stable)
With a) style the releases could be done by simply copying a nightly snapshot to releases/ directory and announcing the changes since the last release. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
My only issue with version a) is that it's not always clear if N.M.UNSTABLE came before or after N.M.0 ... or is the unstable development after that. This ambiguity, I guess, comes from projects who step from 1.0.5 to 1.0.90 as the 1.1 pre-release.
Otherwise, a) is the go.
