<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Todd,</div><div><br></div><div>You have a good point, but VTK's current versioning system doesn't guarantee anything about minor/major version changes. Even our "minor" version updates can and do have breaking changes and removed modules. If we followed strict semantic versioning then every release would be a major release. I think the main argument in favor of year.month is that it no longer seems to promise something we don't provide in terms of compatibility.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Shawn<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 6:33 PM, Todd via vtk-developers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vtk-developers@public.kitware.com" target="_blank">vtk-developers@public.kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">I have no objection, but I have to ask "What does the major version number change mean?

When roughly are you hoping to do the 8.2 release?
