Hi Jaroslav,

shall we release v1.1.2 along with 4.7 kernel? We've got already a bunch of changes in alsa-lib and co.

Hi,

yes, I plan to prepare the new release this week.

In this release, I added five APIs newly: * snd_ctl_elem_info_set_dimension() * snd_ctl_add_integer_elem_set() * snd_ctl_add_integer64_elem_set() * snd_ctl_add_boolean_elem_set() * snd_ctl_add_enumerated_elem_set() * snd_ctl_add_bytes_elem_set()

In this case, on usual way to maintain library, as long as I know, minor version is going to be incremented, instead of micro version. In short, to v1.2.0.

But I committed assuming v1.1.2. For example: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob;f=src/control/control.c;h...

If it's going to be versioned to v1.2.0, please tell it to me. I'll post a patch to fix my commits in time of your release work.

Thanks

Takashi Sakamoto

Good point. Although the minor/tiny version number rule is somewhat ambiguous that people don't care much (as long as it's incremental), it's still helpful to leave a number place for the further corrections. We had to release a version like v1.0.21a in the past. By releasing with the minor version bump, we may still release v1.2.1 soon after once if there is some build error or such a correction is needed.

Yes. Of cource, we can have our own release policy, however following to the usual way makes it easy for users or developers to get purpose of the release.

They can be corrected easily here, too, hence no need to submit the patch. It'd be a one-liner scripting, after all.

OK. Thanks.
