Versioning

Name format

A.B(.C|~D)

But "valid" (as in in use by us) is the following:

^[0-9]\.[0-9]((\.[0-9])?~[0-9]{8}(\-[0-9a-z]{7})?|(\.[0-9]))$

# easier:
A.B((.C)?~D(-E)?|(.C))

• A ([0-9]): Major Version
  • Normally rolled over when minor version exceeds a 9
• B ([0-9]): Minor Version
  • Indicates the Gluon major release
  • Stable builds: even B, followed by C
  • Testing builds: odd B, followed by D
• C: Patch Version
  • Present for builds from a stable release
  • Incremented for each subsequent release of the same major version
• D ([0-9]{8}): build date in the YYYYMMDD format
  • Indicates the build-date of a non-release version
  • Testing and automatic CI builds
• E ([0-9a-z]{7}): site Commit ID
  • Appended for automatic CI builds
