About release version scheme

[chenrui333]

I know featurebase is derived from pilosa, but the latest release for pilosa was 1.4.1, and it looks like the new community version for featurebase is with v1.0.0-community? Just curious, why not just use v2.0.0 instead?

Asking because I am thinking to revive the homebrew formula, but the version scheme really bothers me. Thanks!

I am in agreement with you regarding the version number and do wish we had put more thought into it before the re-release a few months ago.

I was thinking about this while doing the last release, so I'm grateful you opened this issue for discussion.

Within a release or two, SQL3 should be fully integrated into the UI and likely made the default query method. Technically, a major version bump at that time would make sense due to the API becoming incompatible with previous releases. As it stands right now, these versions still support the older calling methods...

No worries, trying to help here. :)

The project renaming should already granted the major release (the artifact got name change?), and regarding the API version stuff, I think either it would be managed separately (I see somebody are doing that), or, we can just do another major version bump regarding the incompatibility part.

Let me know if that makes sense.

@chenrui333 we've done a new release and have changed the version to match internal versions of the binaries. Please let me know your thoughts on this and anything we might need to do to assist you with the homebrew formula.
