There is no real industry wide standard here. I can't speak to other people's customs. But typically, version 1.0 would the version that I would assign to my program when it is first ready for use. For complex programs this will imply that versions 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, etc may exist. But with simpler programs, I may indeed go straight to version 1.0.

Local standards are really more important. If you're participating in any sort of group effort (commercial or freeware), you probably should conform to whatever standard is already in place.

Also if you're using RCS or SCCS or something like that, your versioning scheme should work well with the package you use.

NAME
sact - Displays current Source Code Control System (SCCS) file editing status SYNOPSIS
sact file... | - STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: sact: XCU5.0 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. OPTIONS
None OPERANDS
A path name of an existing SCCS file or directory. If a - (dash) is specified for file, sact reads standard input, and interprets each line as the name of an SCCS file. If file is a directory, sact performs its actions on all SCCS files. If a file in the directory is not an SCCS file, sact silently ignores the file. DESCRIPTION
The sact command reads SCCS files and writes the contents, if any, of the p-file associated with file to standard output (see the get com- mand for information about the contents of the p-file). EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Successful completion. An error occurred. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of sact: Provides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from the default locale is used. If any of the internationalization vari- ables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of the variables had been defined. If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the other internationalization variables. Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multibyte characters in arguments and input files). Determines the locale for the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error. Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES. SEE ALSO
