here's an update on progress for the switch to 2-digit version numbers for core: 1) webchick, sepeck, michelle and myself have been on a roll updating documentation. you can see some of the fruits of our labor here: http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info http://drupal.org/update/modules http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/FAQ.txt?view=markup 2) the 4 of us standardized on using "4.7.x" and "5.x" to refer to drupal core and contrib module compatibility whenever possible. previously, we were somewhat inconsistent, and some places we used "4.7" and in others "4.7.x". since the ".x" helps drive home the point to end users that any version of core would be compatible, and since referring to "5" on its own looked too weird, we figured that was the most clear approach. 3) i wrote up a short forum post and promoted to the front page about this: http://drupal.org/node/86823 4) i created a patch against core to fix the version string and a few other cosmetic changes: http://drupal.org/node/86591 (it's RTBC, btw) ;) 5) i fixed nearly all contrib modules that had a DRUPAL-5-0 branch created. everything now has a DRUPAL-5 branch, instead, which is the new branch naming convention for the main stable release of any contrib ported to the 5.x API. the only remaining DRUPAL-5-0 branch is in the audio.module, and i've been in contact with the maintainers of that to try to clear it up (theirs was a special case, because they had made some changes on the DRUPAL-5-0 branch already that haven't been applied to the TRUNK). 6) we've updated the (incredibly helpful) forum page maintained by michelle about "Contrib modules version 5.x status" to match the new reality: http://drupal.org/node/82257 7) sepeck changed the terms in the handbook/forum taxonomy about versions ("4.7" is now "4.7.x", "5.0" is now "5.x", etc). if anyone can think of any other important places that need updating/ changing, please let me know. thanks! -derek (dww)
