Dear gpm README reader,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this letter is to you, as I have to tell you about my idea of versioning
|
||
|
|
of gpm. Traditionally, there were 1.19.x releases. That was, before the gpm
|
||
|
|
source code and I met. After that, there was 1.20.x, indicating a new
|
||
|
|
maintainer, but continuing with the old naming versioning. Today, on the
|
||
|
|
19th of February 2008, I decided to give gpm a real chance of getting a
|
||
|
|
"second life" under the name of "gpm2" (as described in README.gpm2). It
|
||
|
|
seems that the best effort for creating gpm2 is to rewrite everything, but
|
||
|
|
to migrate the logic from the old code (as in: how to handle the individual
|
||
|
|
mouse).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, how does that relate to the versions of gpm? Let us have a look at it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1.19.x: old versions, not continued
|
||
|
|
1.20.x: current stable versions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1.99.x: versions that move to 2.x, but contain much 1.20.x code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2.0.x: future stable versions
|
||
|
|
2.1.x: future testing versions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perhaps you have some comments to tell me? If so, just drop me a letter to
|
||
|
|
nico-gpm-versions at schottelius.org.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yours,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nico
