Really don't understand why post about a dev pre-release? It's confusing, what is the goal trying to achieve with this post?

And why not using semantic versioning?

>>> from packaging.version import Version
>>> v = Version("0.0.1-alpha.22")
>>> str(v)
'0.0.1a22'
>>>

0.0.1alpha22 or 0.0.1a22 although that looks alot like pre-release dev level fixes. In which case, 0.0.1a0-dev22

There is no project ever that had 22 alpha releases. That's nuts. Your alpha testers must be really overworked.

Fire the six year old in charge versioning decisions ;-)

Your welcome. Your future user base can thank me later for putting a stop to that atrocity posing as versioning

epoch is used to transition from random nonsense versioning to semantic versioning.

There is no shame/stigma for admitting a mistake and correcting it. Eventhough that epoch will now stick around with the project forever.

I posted because I was happy to see some software in growing up. If you are not comfortable, I will not post this kind again.

I recommend you ignore this guys takes, he's posted a lot of wild and controversial takes on other topics and honestly it's not like we have too much posts in this community anyway. Post if you like, up- and downvotes are meant to give and indication of what people think. Not a single person. Conversation is good even if it's on a alpha release!

Thank you for your kind words! Meanwhile, thanks to logging_strict, I discovered that GA and Beta milestones are set on the https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/milestones page, and the Beta milestone is 69% complete. Looking forward to ty's GA.

My point is to wait for an actual release, a call to action, or an article about the project. Release notes on a dev pre-release is odd.

Not discouraging you from posting. You are very welcome to post here. And btw thanks for responding.

This is the semantic versioning spec, but it'll give you nightmares.

Here are examples with explanation for each versioning component. Much easier on the eyes
