With the release of 1.0.6.5 today, I got to thinking... why are we stuck with these low 1.0-ish versions? Then I realized, we're not! We can use whatever darn version numbers we want.
Ever since the beginning, our versions have had an extra digit beyond what most normal version schemes have. For example, our first update to 1.0 was 1.0.1, not 1.1. This was a choice made for mostly historical reasons. If you look at our version history, you'll see a version number 0.1.1.1, which in hindsight was insane. Fortunately, some choices you don't have to live with.
As such, the next release of BitWise will be 1.7, not 1.0.7, reflecting that it is the 7th major revision since 1.0, not the 7th minor revision. This also will get us off of being 1.0 something, which probably doesn't look good to some people. This also means that the next major version will be 2.0, not 1.1.
If Winamp can jump from version 3 to 5, I certainly think that we can jump from 1.0.6.5 to 1.7. Like I said a few weeks ago, it's all arbitrary anyway, right? :)
Finally! I've felt for a while that the changelog is much too bloated for the meager increases in version. Indulge yourself!
