Quote:Political significance of version numbers
Version 1.0 as a milestone
Commercial software developers often start at version 1 for the first release of a program and increment the major version number with each rewrite, meaning that a program can reach version 3 within a few months of development, before it's even considered stable or reliable.
In contrast to this, the free-software community tends to use version 1.0 as a major milestone, indicating that the software is "complete", that it has all major features, and is considered reliable enough for general release.
In this scheme, the version number slowly approaches 1.0 as more and more bugs are fixed in preparation for the 1.0 release.
