Theyāre switching to a much faster release model for at least the next few updates, because 1.9 took an incredibly long time.
So, this may be a silly question. But, does this mean that when the server updates, will it skip 1.9?
ahh yes Minecraft 1.1, that old thing. Waitā¦ urgggg. Moron developers really versioned it 1.10 (one point ten). Companies that version software like this really make me cringe >:( it should go 1.9 > 1.9._ or 1.9 > 2.0 none of this 1.10 crap.
ā¦
1.10 is what it should go to, from a developing standpoint. you only add to the first number for Major updates. minor updates all add to the second number.
Mathematically though, 1.10=1.1
So really it should be 1.10.0 for clarification.
1.10.0 is fine
However, 1.10 is not 1.1
the first number and second number have nothing to do with eachother. same for the third number, which would be the patch number. thinking that 9 + 1 = 10 and then carrying the one to the major version number isnāt right. same would go for 1.8.9 getting a patch and going to 1.9 instead of 1.8.10
I agree. If it were 1.09 to 1.10 then Iād be fine with it, but 1.9 to 1.1 is clearly a downgrade.
Weāre talking about version numbers, not decimal numbers. The ā.ā is just a character used to separate the major, minor and patch numbers.
After 1.9, the next version is 1.10. It only gets to 2.0 when there are enough changes to make it versiin 2. Also 1.10 refers to the entire series of releases, the version released is technically called 1.10.0
The Eiffel tower is 300m tall.
when it came out:
They call it the tallest building in the world but itās only 3 meters.
Similar to what Mannirah, and Metazealot said, it should be 1.10.0 for clarification, because a calculator would think 1.10 is 1.1. This wouldnāt be a problem if it was 1.10.1, or 1.11.
I donāt think itās worth it to make Minecraft 2.0, because Minecraft 2.0 could simply be an update, rather than a whole new game that I wouldnāt spend on (unless it would be free), and rather play Minecraft.
::le sigh::
The . is not a decimal point.
Itās a version separator.
Thatās like saying that when (later in the year) the date goes from 2016.9.30 to 2016.10.1 OH LOOK ITS JANUARY
YYYY.MM.DD ???
Who uses that?
Sorry, Rhetorical question. I looked it up, and I found Hungary and Mongolia.
you claim to be Australianā¦
More importantly, who the heck uses a period as a date separator?! XD
Ah, and I can answer that with a quote. A quote you quoted in fact:
Hungary and Mongolia.
Thereās a few more who use YMD, but theyāre the only ones I could find who have gone for the anarchy or Y period M period D
I am familiar with dates that have been placed with a period in-between. But, I always use a period for the months (Jun.), and a comma to separate the day and the year (Jun. 9, 2015), and I rarely use slashes for the dates, but Iām familiar with that too (6/9/2016) (You can see the slashes in-between the month, day, and year on the bottom-left of you screen, if you use Windows).
Iāve just noticed that it only took about 2 weeks to make the first snapshot for 1.10, all the way to the release of 1.10-pre1. Unless Mojang has been working on 1.10 since 1.8, the team worked pretty fast on making 1.10.
Ripped straight from the international standard:
The international standard date notation is
YYYY-MM-DD
Okay in that case
When itās 2016-09-30 OH LOOK ITS 1977
For the record, Minecraft, and lots of other software, uses semantic versioning. There are actually pretty strict rules about what you can do with version numbers if a project conforms to SemVer; itās not just random crap/whatever devs want.
The version number denotes what kind of changes are made between releases, so it doesnāt have to make any mathematical sense.
Iāve used software where theyāre stuck on 0.99._ and just went to 0.100._, etc., since theyāre still in alpha so they canāt increment the major version number.
