# Golden Versioning
|
|
|
|
```randical``` is versioned under a scheme I call "goldver", as an homage to the
|
|
vastly inferior [semver](https://semver.org).
|
|
|
|
## What does "goldver" mean?
|
|
|
|
When projects are versioned with goldver, the first version is "1". Note that it
|
|
is not "1.0", or, "1.0-prealpha-release-preview", or anything nonsensical like
|
|
that. As new versions are released, decimals from *phi*, the [Golden
|
|
Ratio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio), are appended after an
|
|
initial decimal point. So the second released version will be "1.6", the third
|
|
would be "1.61", etc., and on until perfection is asymptotically approached as
|
|
the number of released versions goes to infinity.
|
|
|
|
## Wait, didn't Donald Knuth do this?
|
|
|
|
No! He uses [pi for TeX and e for MetaFont](https://texfaq.org/FAQ-TeXfuture),
|
|
obviously COMPLETELY different.
|
|
|
|
## Ok.
|
|
|
|
Cool.
|
|
|
|
## What version is randical now?
|
|
|
|
See the ```VERSION``` file.
