FW: Castle 2.5.2 == 2.5.1?

[Paul Stovell]

I just learnt an interesting approach to managing versioning dependencies problems from Krzysztof (see below). 

If we try to follow Semantic Versioning, breaking changes should only happen on major release versions, so we should be able to use the same idea to save recompilation.

For people who were whinging that with each minor bugfix release they have to recompile the whole world because everything depends on Windsor.

 

This is going to be the policy from now on, that Windsor will be versioned:

X.Y.0.0 for assembly version and

X.Y.A.B for file version where A is the minor release number and B is probably going to be either 0 or some number relating to revision.

HTH,

Hey KK,

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/castleproject/files/Windsor/2.5/Castle.Windsor.2.5.2.zip/download

 

That ZIP file is for 2.5.2, but it has these attributes:

 

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.5.1.0")]

[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("2.5.2.0")]

[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("2.5.2.0")]

 

Out of curiosity, why keep the assembly version as 2.5.1?
