Version numbers
This documentation is outdated! Please find the newer version here.
Dotty uses multiple schemes for version numbering.
Stable releases have version numbers of the form 0.${x}.${y}
, where x
is a main version and y
is a bug-fix update id.
Release candidates version numbers have the form 0.${x}.${y}-RC${z}
. Every 6 weeks, the latest release candidate is promoted to stable and becomes version 0.${x}.${y}
. The release candidates let library authors test their code in advance of each release. Multiple release candidates may be released during each 6 weeks period to fix regressions and are differentiated by z
.
Nightlies have version numbers of the form 0.${x}.${y}-bin-${date}-${sha}-NIGHTLY
. Every 6 weeks, the latest nightly is promoted to release candidate becomes version 0.${x}.${y}-RC1
.
