Version Numbers
---------------
Classic wxPython used version numbers with 4 components, in order to be able
to specify the exact version of wxWidgets used (3 version number components)
and an additional component to allow for multiple wxPython releases for each
wxWidgets release. While this version numbering works okay and solves a
specific need that wxPython had, it does not follow the common version
numbering pattern that probably 99% of other software packages use and so it
is non-intuitive for most users.
The version numbers for wxPython are no longer kept in sync with the wxWidgets
version number. In the past the common version number was used to indicate
exactly which version of wxWidgets should be used for the wxPython build. Now
wxWidgets is a git submodule, and the linked version is included in the
wxPython source tarball there is no longer any need to use the matching
version numbers to implicitly specify the version of the wxWidgets source to
use.
So Phoenix will be moving to a 3 component version number, where the first 2
components match the MAJOR.MINOR version of wxWidgets being used, and the 3rd
component of the version number is used to indicate the release of wxPython
Phoenix using that version of wxWidgets. It is felt that matching the 3rd
component of the wxWidgets is no longer as important as it was in the past,
because the wxWidgets source is being included with the Phoenix source, so
matching exact versions of the two packages by hand is no longer needed.
This means that wxPython can go back to a 3-component version number and follow
the common conventions used by 99% of the other software projects out there.
The 3 components are commonly called MAJOR, MINOR and RELEASE. Since wxPython
Phoenix is a major upgrade over wxPython Classic then we will start out with a
new MAJOR version number to help communicate that this isn't just a little
update from previous releases.
Additional flags will be appended to the version number in a manner that is
compliant with Python's PEP-440_. This includes syntax for alpha, beta,
