[PROPOSAL] "New" version numbering scheme
Costin has suggested to me in a private email that the Tomcat project could
adopt the Apache 2 numbering scheme (starting with Apache Tomcat 4.1).
I think this is a good idea.
For the uninitiated, the numbering is:
major.minor.build build_stability
So for example, the first 4.1.x release would probably be numbered:
Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 Alpha
<ballot>
[ ] Yes
[ ] No
</ballot>
(feel free to provide comments to justify your choice)
I vote yes.
If the opinion is that this is a good idea, I'll revise the release plan for
4.1 to reflect this change.

It will use the same conventions as Apache 2. So it is Alpha, Beta and
Stable.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Remy,
Do you have any thougts on the allowable stability tags?
Projects variously seem to use alpha, beta, RR (restricted release), GA (general
availability), RC (release candidate) and EA (early access). Sometimes they use
'a' and 'b' instead of alpha and beta - I'd really like to see documentation
that ensures consistency.
Also, what are your thoughts on identifying src, documentation, binary releases
and combinations thereof?

I actually like the Linux style, with odd minor numbers for unstable
releases and even for stable ones, but this is not bad too.
