Version Numbering

[Chris Good]

Hi All,

I've asked for people to give their opinions on a GnuCash version numbering
system as, from my few small documentation contributions, I think this
should be defined somewhere.

I'll summarise what I've observed so far now that's it's been a week.

There has been some good input about what the 3 segments of the GnuCash
version number should be used for, although there is no general consensus
and some people are OK to leave the decision till later, or maybe decide if
the first 1 or 2 segments should change on a case by case basis.

We don't seem to be getting anywhere picking names for the 3 segments of the
version number, particularly the first segment.
We've had the following suggestions (in no particular order):

First Level:
	Major
	Architecture
	Global
	Fundamental
	Framework
	Basic
	Base (I'm throwing this into the ring here)
Second Level:
	Major
	Minor
Third Level:
	Minor
	Micro
	Bugfix
	Point
	Revision
	Patch

Have I missed any?

I think it is generally agreed, (from the small number of opinions
expressed so far), that level 2 should be Major and level 3 should be Minor.
Can everyone that has an opinion please let us know, particularly regarding
the level 1 name?

Regards,
Chris Good
