[gdal-dev] Which version number for the next GDAL release : 1.10 or 2.0 ?

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

I'm wondering if we shouldn't release GDAL trunk as GDAL 1.10 instead of GDAL 
2.0.

As far as I know, there haven't been yet any change in GDAL trunk that 
qualifies as a major re-architecturing, or that breaks the C API & ABI of the 
GDAL 1.X series. I'm not sure if or when someone will want to tackle one of 
the items listed in http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GDAL20Changes , but this 
would likely defer a release by months, especially if we want a GDAL 2.0 with 
a number of significant changes. And sticking with our traditional yearly 
release rythm seems to me like a good practice. Current trunk has nothing 
revolutionary, but a nice amount of new drivers and fixes/improvements that are 
worth a release.

Thoughts ?

Regards,

Even
