We have new version out!

Oh, that's good I guess. So... what's new?

We can not tell you yet.

The ceo is being paid too much.

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Just like at least 90% of ceos

At least has some of them. I think they always grab the betas and aggregate the release notes/changes during the nightly/beta tests.

I still remember when Firefox decided to go with Chrome-like versioning to show progress. No more v4.5.1. but v87.1! Still bugs me a little bit, I liked the more relaxed attitude. Now versioning is changing again here and there, now it's the year, like 2025.1 and I think that is a little pragmatic but probably a pretty good idea. They should go for that!

Year-based version numbers are pretty neat IMO, particularly for applications. Not only can you quickly estimate how up-to-date any particular application is, it also avoids the version number racing problem between competing applications, because some people equate lower version numbers with a less developed application.

For programming libraries though semantic versioning is still the good ol' reliable.

Strange that it took us like decades to figure this out :)

[-] allywilson@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

I blame MS (Windows 2000, Office 2003, Server 2005, etc.)

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

This versioning is just moronic.

[-] barlog@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 weeks ago

Higher version — more Firefox. I like more Firefox.

finally release notes have been uploaded!

probably only OP will see this though..

[-] Neptr 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nah I did too.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 weeks ago

The 103 early hints is nice to finally see in the network tab, stopping a scroll by placing the fingers down on the track pad, is neat too!

Solid update AFAIC

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

A refreshed New Tab layout is being rolled out to users in the US and Canada, featuring a repositioned logo and weather widget to prioritize Web Search, Shortcuts, and Recommended Stories at the top.

before anyone starts complaining, yes I know several people in close proximity that use the news&weather windows taskbar thing, so this probably has a reason to exist

Most non-tech users will love it TBH

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
