Version control and numbering is a matter of personal or organization preferences. For me, here is what I do for papers:
  • First rough draft or outline is version 0.01
  • First draft is 0.10
  • Each time I correct a nit or typo increment by 0.01
  • When I feel it is about half way ready it is called 0.5
  • Major changes increment by 0.10 or 0.05 (depending)
  • When close to a final draft release it is at least 0.9 something
  • Major first release after lots of reviews is 1.0

So, release numbering is often a matter of style and you know you have 'arrived' when others begin to understand your logic when releasing updates. Folks often tease me about my personal numbering style when writing documents.....it can be fun!!

Software release styles are similar and often have letters like a (alpha) and b (beta) to signify very early releases (similar to 0.01 or 0.10 in documents)..... however since software has the element of testing, there are lots of variations. With experience, you will develop your own style.

If you are developing, create your own style in your release numbering, but keep in mind that the first solid release is normally 1.0 not 3.0 or 6.0 Smilie

Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3)

NAME
Net::Server::Proto::UNIX - Net::Server UNIX protocol. SYNOPSIS
See Net::Server::Proto. DESCRIPTION
Protocol module for Net::Server. This module implements the UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket type. See Net::Server::Proto. Any sockets created during startup will be chown'ed to the user and group specified in the starup arguments. PARAMETERS
The following paramaters may be specified in addition to normal command line parameters for a Net::Server. See Net::Server for more information on reading arguments. unix_type Can be either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM (default is SOCK_STREAM). This can also be passed on the port line (see Net::Server::Proto). However, this method is deprecated. If you want SOCK_STREAM - just use proto UNIX without any other arguments. If you'd like SOCK_DGRAM, use the new proto UNIXDGRAM. METHODS
NS_unix_path/NS_unix_type In addition to the standard NS_ methods of Net::Server::Proto classes, the UNIX types also have legacy calls to NS_unix_path and NS_unix_type. Since version 2.000, NS_unix_path is simply an alias to NS_port. NS_unix_type is now redundant with NS_proto. These methods were missing between version 2.000 and 2.003 but have been returned as legacy bridges. QUICK PARAMETER LIST
Key Value Default # deprecated UNIX socket parameters unix_type (SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_DGRAM) SOCK_STREAM port "filename" undef # more recent usage port "filename / UNIX" port "filename / UNIXDGRAM" LICENCE
