Hi there,
we have a system version: "SystemVersion current". For trunk images, it used to say 'Squeak4.1alpha' or something like it. Right now, it doesn't even add the 'alpha' suffix.
Can we change that to 'SqueakTrunk'? What would break? Right now, SystemVersion works with a string rather than major/minor numbers. I assume that there is some code that parses that string. Metacello does that, for example.
Any thoughts?
Best, Marcel

Yes.
SystemVersion current should give the following
for 4.6 Squeak4.6 for 5.0 Squeak5.0 for trunk Squeak5.1alpha (or Squeak5.1trunk if it must be, but please Squeak{stable+1}{dev-indicator})

Okay, we good improve the version number in trunk images and treat them as (Git) tags.
... Squeak5.1alpha Squeak5.1beta Squeak5.1rc1 Squeak5.1rc2 Squeak5.1rtm Squeak5.2alpha Squeak6.0alpha Squeak6.0beta ...
Even if we decide to not make a minor release but a major the tag can jump. So, any suffix after the version number indicates the trunk stream.
Alpha = Open to any code submittions Beta = Feature freeze, bug fixes only Rc1...n = Some bugs fixed, next try Rtm = Full code freeze, will be the one to release
Would this work?

Would it make sense to keep track of the release build number and show the current increment in a separate way? Releases are basically branches from Trunk. E.g.:
source.squeak.org/trunk source.squeak.org/squeak50
At release time, the code base is identical. Then, things might get cherry-picked from trunk into the release branch (here "squeak50"). Then, the summative build number would be confusing because "14023" in squeak50 is not the same as it is in trunk.
What about doing it like GitHub branches and show "number of commits your are behind the main branch"? It could displayed like this:
"Squeak 5.0 (Build 14000 +23/-324)"
This means that the current image is a release image, created from trunk build 14000. There were 23 fixes in this branch since then and current Trunk is already 324 builds ahead.
What do you think?

Best, Marcel
How about:
... - final (new release) --------------------------- - alpha + build number - beta + build number (as soon as there is a release manager / we are working towards a new release) - rc1, rc2, ... (release candidates built or approved by release manager) - final (new release) --------------------------- ...
If we agree that the next version should be called for example 5.2, it will be called 5.2 all along the release process except if we decide it should be a major release. Then we do the renaming in or after the release candidate phase. Example: 5.2 alpha-X, 5.2 beta-X, [ major release decision ], 6.0 RC1, 6.0 Final.

Best, Marcel
Again, there is no need for "final" because the release itself does not need a suffix. It has its own repository, a version number, and usually also a build number.
Only for the trunk versions, we need alpha, beta, rc to distinguish feature freeze and code freeze. "beta" is feature freeze and "rc" is code freeze.

Yes.
SystemVersion current should give the following
for 4.6 Squeak4.6 for 5.0 Squeak5.0 for trunk Squeak5.1alpha (or Squeak5.1trunk if it must be, but please Squeak{stable+1}{dev-indicator})

Okay, we good improve the version number in trunk images and treat them as (Git) tags.
... Squeak5.1alpha Squeak5.1beta Squeak5.1rc1 Squeak5.1rc2 Squeak5.1rtm Squeak5.2alpha Squeak6.0alpha Squeak6.0beta ...
Even if we decide to not make a minor release but a major the tag can jump. So, any suffix after the version number indicates the trunk stream.
Alpha = Open to any code submittions Beta = Feature freeze, bug fixes only Rc1...n = Some bugs fixed, next try Rtm = Full code freeze, will be the one to release
Would this work?
Best, Marcel
