Newlisp binary numbering vs sys-info

Post by newdep »

Hello Lutz,

I have two question perhpas you can clarify them a little:

* newLISP v.8.2.1 Copyright (c) 2004 Lutz Mueller. All rights reserved.
*(sys-info) -> (336 268435456 279 1 0 1024 8201 1)
(above i see 2 diffent version displays 8.2.1 and 8201)

*where as the binary's vary from ->
linux using 8.2.0 or 8.2.1 (newlisp-8.2.0.tgz)
Window using 8200 or 8201 (newlisp-8200-win-tk-117.exe)

so actualy the question "1" is:
How is the version (sys-info) build ->
8 - main release
2 - build
0 - patched
0 - Hotfix?

Question "2" is ->
Can all binary be dstributed in the same version layout?
(like 8200 or 8.2.0.0 like the 'sys-info displays)

Regards, Norman

As far as I know:

How is the version (sys-info) build ->
8 - major release
2 - official stable sub-release
01 - 2 digit build number

8201 is an integer and not a string.

As long as it is static that always the last 2 digits represent the build
then i know enough :-)

When immer Die letze zwei bits Die build reprezentieren dan habe ich
kein problem dahmit solang es immer zwei bits sind...
(Ich muss mahl mein Deutsch uben, lese ich hier ;-)

Thanks !

Nicht schlecht das Deutsch!
Mein Niederlaendisch ist dagegen sehr schlecht.

I think Lutz will tell us, if I am right.
But in the past this was the matter with the different releases.

yes, this is how its meant:

8 - major release
2 - sub-release
01 - 2 digit build number

but there is no stable/unstable number pattern
