I partially Agree with Timo. Or we simply call the Builds "Development" or "Preview" without Version (or at least the next upcoming Minor one). (SVN is a bad naming, I still hope that we will finally jump to git :-P)

There is a difference: We are presenting our stuff to the public right after we have been releasing a major version, while MS is presenting stuff that is much closer to the targeted version than to the previous. IIRC MS didn't sell XP SP1 as a Vista/7 preview. (They should have sold Vista as a Win7 preview though :))
IMO we should name it "0.4+ development", which is less confusing and doesn't make people think we are close to 0.5 in trunk.

what about changing "-" by "+"?

"0.4+SVNx"
that would mean, "this is the 0.4. version, plus svn revisions until x"

This way of numbering seems very confusing to me, and I assume to other
people as well..
When ReactOS presents itself as 0.5-SVN, I would expect this to be a 0.5
release, and not a 0.4 release that is working towards a 0.5.

Because that’s what is being worked towards now, and there will be an
unknown number of point releases until it’s reached.

It’s also a bit of nostalgia, it’s what we’ve always done :)

Subject: [ros-dev] ReactOS SVN version naming

Hi guys,

I would like to understand what’s the rationale behind changing the
ReactOS
trunk version from “0.4-SVN” to “0.5-SVN” (see revision 70818) whereas
we
have just started to release ROS 0.4.0 only?

Thanks in advance for your explanations!

Cheers,
Hermès.
