| 24 | == Overview == |
| 25 | |
| 26 | This RFC proposes to set the version number of the next MapGuide release to be 4.0 |
| 27 | |
| 28 | == Motivation == |
| 29 | |
| 30 | The volume of changes and features implemented so far is such that 3.3 is better represented as 4.0 |
| 31 | |
| 32 | The other motivation is that there is pending development work that will have "breaking change" ramifications for MapGuide Application Developers, so bumping the version to 4.0 will pre-emptively set such expectations. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | == Proposed Solution == |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Set the base version number in MapGuide to 4.0.0.0 |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Ensure that any doxygen content for APIs introduced in this development cycle are set to `\since 4.0` |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Update all version references in code to `3.3` to `4.0` |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Update all version references in XML schemas to `3.3.0` to `4.0.0` |
| 43 | |
| 44 | All adopted RFCs thus far in this cycle will be retroactively updated to target the `4.0` milestone |
| 45 | |
| 46 | == Implications == |
| 47 | |
| 48 | |
| 49 | |
| 50 | == Test Plan == |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Run existing test suite to ensure no breakages |
| 53 | |
| 54 | == Funding / Resources == |
