Version numbering changes
Starting from today, the Cool SL Viewer version and release numbers are amended as follow:
- 1.23.5.0 release N becomes: 1.23.5.N
- 1.19.0.5 release N becomes: 1.19.2.N
The reasons for these changes are:
- The legacy branch, while still based on v1.19.0.5 is now very far from the original code base (with 113 patches to date and growing !), and will probably get branched once and for all at some point in the coming months (it becomes harder to produce mutually compatible patches with each new release and it will be a point when it will be simpler to turn the whole shebang into a monolithic source tree). v1.19.1 was already taken (at a time when LL was using weird versionning rules since v1.19.1 is the first Windlight renderer viewer and should have been numbered v1.20.0...), so I'm using v1.19.2 for my own legacy renderer branch.
- It is easier to use the micro number of the version to store the release number (like LL is doing since v1.20 is out), since it shows in the About floater and the login screen (easier for support).
