I don’t understand why version numbers of the Boost Library are incremented only 1/100

  • 0

I don’t understand why version numbers of the Boost Library are incremented only 1/100 (e.g. 1.33, 1.34, so on) even though major inclusions are made like huge libraries. Is there any strong motivation behind this?

  1. It says in the Boost Faq:

    What do the Boost version numbers mean? The scheme is x.y.z, where x is incremented only for massive changes, such as a reorganization of many libraries, y is incremented whenever a new library is added, and z is incremented for maintenance releases. y and z are reset to 0 if the value to the left changes.
