Version naming

YaBook uses the following version naming scheme: x.y-kn

• x.y - Version number. We start with 0.1, and we will increment this number until 1.0. These numbers aren't decimals, that is, after 0.9 it follows 0.10, 0.11 ...
• k - This string indicates the version state:
  • alpha: The version is alpha. The code can be rewritten in future versions, and may not be compatible.
  • beta: The version is beta. Bugs are fixed and there are new functions. We'll make an effort in making these versions compatible.
  • RC: This is a 'release candidate'. Only bugs are fixed. All RC versions will be compatible. After this versions set, we will release the final version.
• n - Indicates the minor version number (alpha1, beta1, RC3...).

Development Roadmap

There is no real development roadmap available yet as YaBook has just been released. The current developmental release of YaBook is already pretty mature and does include most of the planned features. For future releases there are going to be milestones set as short timelines, with a few key features. We will be doing plenty of bug fixing and other work during the development towards a milestone, but "meeting a milestone" requires the specified features to have been implemented.
