The idea is that Wine Gecko version could be just
something based on
other versions, that are more informative. It's not really possible to
use Wine version, because the first version of Wine that will use new
Gecko is not ultimately when Wine Gecko branches. Also multiple Wine
versions use the same Wine Gecko. That leaves us with Gecko (Firefox
version). We don't release on every Firefox release (every 6 weeks), so
if we just used Firefox version, that would look strange (like Wine
Gecko 18 followed by Wine Gecko 20). That can be mitigated by using it
as a minor version. So the next few release would look like:
- 1.9 (that's already in beta and will be the last release using old scheme)
- 2.20 (assuming the next update will be 3 months from 1.9, which means
Firefox 20)
- 2.22 (assuming another 3 moths for the update).
I like the idea, but why move to 2.x? 1.20, 1.22 and so on would perfectly fit.
And if the gap between 1.9 and 1.20 is confusing someone, then he really has issues.
I'm also fine with 2.x, i just think a new version scheme shouldn't necessarily
lead to a version increment.
