Editing Software versioning (section)

== Other schemes ==
Some software producers use different schemes to denote releases of their software. The Debian project uses a major/minor versioning scheme for releases of its operating system but uses code names from the movie ''[[Toy Story]]'' during development to refer to stable, unstable, and testing releases.<ref>{{cite web|title=Debian FAQ: 6.2.2 Where do these codenames come from?|url=https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives.en.html#sourceforcodenames|access-date=January 2, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201210165704/https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives.en.html#sourceforcodenames|archive-date= December 10, 2020}}</ref>

[[BLAG Linux and GNU]] features very large version numbers: major releases have numbers such as 50000 and 60000, while minor releases increase the number by 1 (e.g. 50001, 50002). Alpha and beta releases are given decimal version numbers slightly less than the major release number, such as 19999.00071 for alpha 1 of version 20000, and 29999.50000 for beta 2 of version 30000. Starting at 9001 in 2003, the most recent version {{As of|2011|alt=as of 2011}} is 140000.<ref>{{cite web|title=BLAG Linux And GNU|url=http://www.blagblagblag.org/download/index.html|work=DistroWatch.com|access-date=September 29, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=News and Updates: BLAG|url=http://distrowatch.com/index.php?distribution=blag|work=DistroWatch.com|access-date=September 29, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=blag download|url=http://www.blagblagblag.org/download/index.html|work=blag|access-date=September 29, 2011}}</ref>

[[Urbit]] uses ''Kelvin versioning'' (named after the absolute [[Kelvin]] temperature scale): software versions start at a high number and count down to version 0, at which point the software is considered finished and no further modifications are made.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kelvin Versioning · jtobin.io|url=https://jtobin.io/kelvin-versioning|access-date=March 17, 2021|website=jtobin.io}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=urbit.org|title=Toward a Frozen Operating System – Urbit|url=https://urbit.org/blog/toward-a-frozen-operating-system/|access-date=March 17, 2021|website=urbit.org|language=en}}</ref>
