Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS SVN Version Naming

[Alex Ionescu]

Are you equally confused when Windows 10 Anniversary Update preview
builds also present themselves as such, even though it'snot coming out
until later?

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.

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)
