Hi BIRD folks!
Could you please consider using consistent semantic versioning in your
release numbers? (see semver.org)
Up until 2.13 all releases used the x.y.z format, with a trailing .0 for
the first release in each minor release. However the the 2.13 and 2.14
releases did not - they just used x.y
This broke our deployment code that uses semantic version aware checks
to tell whether the running daemon is not the same as the available package.
A formally adopted (and documented) version numbering policy would be of
great use to system administrators.
thanks,
Ray
