-> Currently setup.py sets the version number for BE to 0.0.193 and the

-> outdated ;).
-
-Right, that should change.
-
-> I've switched my branch over to the current url, and moved to
-> last-commit-timestamp version numbers.
-
-Please, no. Timestamps aren't version strings, that's conflating two
-pieces of information with very different meanings. Correlating the two
-is the job of a changelog.
-
-> This removes the "prefered branch" issues with the old scheme, and
-> version numbers should increase monotonically
-
-The English word “should” is ambiguous in this context. Are you saying
-this is desirable, or are you predicting that it will likely be the
-case?
-
-I don't see how it's either, so am doubly confused :-)
-
-> but it looses any stability information suggested by the preceding
-> 0.0.
-
-The convention for three-part version strings is often:
-
- * Major release number (big changes in how the program works,
- increasing monotonically per major release, with “0”indicating no
- major release yet)
-
- * Minor release number (smaller impact on how the program works,
- increasing monotonically per minor release, with “0” indicating no
- minor release yet since the previous major)
-
- * Patch release number (bug-fix and other changes that don't affect
- the documented interface, increasing monotonically per patch
- release, with “0” indicating no patch release since the previous
- major or minor)
-
-Obviously there's no standard or enforcement for this, but that's the
-interpretation I usually give to dotted version strings in the absence
-of more formal declaration specific to the project.
-
-> We can add those back in if people want. Does the first 0 mean
-> "interfaces in flux" and the second 0 mean "lots of bugs"? If so, I
-> think we're up to 0.1, since the major features are pretty calm.
-
-I disagree with your interpretation and prefer mine, above; on that
-basis, I agree that we're at least up to version 0.1 by now :-)
