Topic: Stated version, STU3
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 00:34):
Following our stated version policy. one of the last things I do before publishing STU3 is update the major version number, and rest the minor version and revision.
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 00:34):
by this policy, STU3 will be 2.0.0, and revisions to it (e.g. technical corrections) would be 2.0.1 etc.
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 00:35):
the current build will transition to 2.1.0 as soon as anyone makes a substantiative change to it (I left this fora few weeks because it makes it a little easier to handle the forking, but it has to change once a substantiative change happens)
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 00:36):
there's a thread in the implementers stream proposing that instead of going to 2.0.0, we change to 3.0.0, so that the major version corresponds to the stated release (R3 = 3.0.0)
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 00:37):
this means we would just skip 2.x altogether.
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 00:37):
I think this is a good simplification, and so I'd like FMG to endorse this.

+1
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 15 2017 at 01:22):
Is there a reason we wouldn't change the build to be 3.1 as soon as we produce 3.0? Because substantive changes could happen at any time.
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 03:27):
if it's like last time, there was a fair bit of work settling the reference implementation and it was easier when the trunk had the same version. And there were no substantiative chansg for quite a few weeks while we all caught our breath
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 15 2017 at 03:59):
But the reference implementations aren't referenced by the core spec anymore, so not clear why it would matter. Not saying we can't keep things frozen, just not sure we'd want to delay changes if we didn't have to
Grahame Grieve (Mar 15 2017 at 03:59):
it was just convenient, that's all
Paul Knapp (Mar 15 2017 at 09:11):
Confirmed with TSC that they no longer use release in the ballot naming, so HL7 FHIR Release 3, HL7 FHIR Release 4 - as short forms if not the full name should be fine.
John Moehrke (Mar 15 2017 at 12:19):
+1 the build version starting at 3.0.0 for STU3. I still am not comfortable with a marketing phrase that is not clear about STU.
David Hay (Mar 15 2017 at 23:58):
+1 - consistency is good...

Approved on call
