Version 2.0? You mean an entirely new program, right?

Shame-antic versioning

It's more logical than Linux's version numbering system: > **Does the major version number (4.x vs 5.x) mean anything?** > > No. The major version number is incremented when the number after the dot starts looking "too big." There is literally no other reason. https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

Under semantic versioning, you should really be ashamed of bumping the major number, since this means you went and broke backwards compatibility in some way.

Lowkey how I version number personal mini-projects and small things I roll out for my team. I guess more like: x.. "huge new feature, scope expansion, or cool shit." .x. "small feature, or fixing a serious bug" ..x "testing something. Didn't work. Try again +1." I'm not ashamed it didn't work. I swear!

I recently realized: fuck it, just have the build date as the version: 2026.02.28.14 with the last number being the hour. I can immediately tell when something is on latest or not. You can get a little cheeky with the short year '26' but that's it. No reason to have some arbitrary numbers represent some strange philosophy behind them.

For the shame version isn’t updating the version number admitting there is new changes?

I thought the leading number was for when very large changes are made to the core software that make it unrecognizable from a previous version. Like if you changed the render engine or the user interface, or all of the network code.
