Hello
If you want a librarian point of view, Koha 4 should have a major visible improvement for librarians and patrons, not only a change in infrastructure.
And the main improvement we are waiting for is SolR.
I don't even know what is DBIx::Class ;-)

From what I've I've heard around the water cooler, we won't be switching to 4.x until there is some major change to the internal infrastructure of Koha ( like Solr support, or perhaps DBIx::Class support ).

I think if were to ditch the traditional versioning system, that maybe the Ubuntu year/month style would. So a major release this month would be version 13.04. I'm not endorsing it, it's just a possibility ; )

Hello koha-devel,

Throwing the question : after version 3.10, we're about to release 3.12,
the next version is expected to be 3.14

My question is a small one : what does the "3." mean for us ?
The 3.12 is really different from 3.0, that has been released 5 years
ago. Remembering history, we switched from 1.x to 2.x when MARC support
was added. We switched from 2.x to 3.x when zebra became our search engine.

What could/should we expect to decide to switch to 4.x ?

Another option I see could be to remove the "3." and name version 12.0,
12.1, 12.2, 14.0, 14.1,... (that would be fine for the current
updatedatabase mechanism)

Thoughts ?
