X. 00 are major releases with usually fundamental changes to the game. This requires a game restart.
0. X0 are database/executable releases. This requires a game restart.
0. 0X are executable releases. Usually bug fixes or changes that don't require a database change. Saves from previous 0. X0 releases are compatible.
I'd say have the versions on the X. 00 and 0. X0 versions.
In dwarf fortress, namespaces are limited to each major release.X.00 are major releases with usually fundamental changes to the game. This requires a game restart.
How are the versions organized for Aurora? Are there incompatible changes between minor versions like 6. 42 and 6. 43 that prevent someone from changing versions or any major differences them?
I did the initial versions based on the versions listed on the wiki page that warranted a Release Note.
I agree. The little changes can be annotated in the affected articles themselves as it has been done until now, and I don't think too many people play old versions if they can update without loosing their game.
