Considering the current numbering scheme, 0.9 will be the unstable version of 1.0. Which means 0.9 should give us a very good idea of the final backwards compatible API (hopefully)

Or it might be the unstable version of 0.10.

The dots are there for a reason.

IMHO, it should be followed by 0.12, because 0.10 is too confusable with 0.1, but 0.12 is clearly a new version...

Streams are everywhere, as an abstraction of async I/O model. Hope the Stream API will have a cleanup by 1.0.

Might be smart to mention in the title that its just an unstable release.

feronull13y ago

every odd version is unstable

elliotlaiOP13y ago

you are right

Nothing jumps out at me as significant to bump the version to 0.9. Can someone explain what makes certain changes worthy of the version change?

Node follows a even/odd version scheme where even releases are stable and odd releases are unstable. v0.9.0 is just the first release of the unstable v0.9 series.

The versioning scheme is unfortunate because it confuses people. After Node 1.0 we'll switch a less confusing version system.

Is it not standard semver? What will node switch to?
