don't forget ....

The revision control system introduced around version 1.6.0 is only 'half-complete'. The database is prepared for a two-digit version number. However the administrative backend only lets you manage the last of the two!

I request this feature finished in 2.0!

Hi,

do you mean something like 2.0, 2.1, ..., 3.0 instead of only 1.0, 1.1., ..., 1.456 ?

looks like I am wrong here.

There is only one revision number available in the database, I see!
Probably that was some old 'beta-stuff' that was in my head.

I think I had a version installed at a point of time where there were two revision fields: a 'major' and a 'minor' revision number like 'x.a' or 'y.b'.

I also think I had an old Forums thread about it ...

Hi,

yes, you're right... but what if someone want <major>.<minor>.<patch>?

I don't think we'll improve it in 2.0 because the database API is already finished but this is something for 2.1!

Why don't you just get rid of the major part?

In CAD databases, as well as in general document management systems, a drawing or document starts out at "-" or "NR" (No Revision), and subsequently you get Rev. A, Rev. B, Rev. C, ... Rev. AA, Rev. AB, ...etc.

Why do you need to call it 1.0, 1.1, ... 1.456? Why not just 1, 2, ... 456?

Are people really going to have Major, Minor and Patch revisions to the Answer of a Frequently Asked Question? This is an FAQ system, not a source code repository for software.

That's my 2.0 cents. :D
