Continuing the discussion from the other thread…
You’re right Magnus, that the pre-release part of semantic versioning seems to cover what we’re currently doing with development releases. Except that, given the upcoming release will be 2.46.0, it seems like the current dev releases should be 2.46.0-dev… Do you agree?
I’m still torn about whether we should be numbering this way or not. As I said before, we don’t bump dev version numbers for API breaks. There’s also no support for them; we tell anyone using them to upgrade to the latest release if they want support.
