Locales and Version Numbers
In case you’re curious, LiveClick has adopted a new numbering system since Firefox 3 came out: a.b.c.d. The a represents the actual version, b is the primary objective branch, c is the feature/bug fix counter, and d is the locale counter.
Let me explain using LiveClick 0.3.2.1 as an example, since that will be released shortly. The a here is 0 because I don’t consider LiveClick to be a finished, fully-supported product. The b is 3, which was a rewrite to get LiveClick working on Firefox 3. The c is a 2, which means it’s the second feature/bug fix update since the initial 0.3 build. The d is 1, which indicates one locale change since the 0.3.2 build. The only difference between 0.3.2.0 and 0.3.2.1 is that one locale was added, so you don’t need that version unless you want the new locale. I will not be posting d versions to the Official Firefox Addons site.
Speaking of locales, would anyone be willing to translate LiveClick for us? I’ve got a great group of translators right now, but I’m looking to restore the Spanish (es-ES) and Hebrew (he-IL) locales. Those two are partially complete, but no longer updated. Please contact me.
