Confusion about version numbering scheme

Confusion about version numbering scheme

[Josef Wolf]

Hello all,

in order to find out details for
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/newlib/2020/017688.html
I decided to git-bisect newlib-3.1.0 up to newlib-3.2.0.

And on that, I'm somewhat confused about newlib version numbering scheme.

How comes that cygwin-3_0-branch and cygwin-3_0_x-release are SUCCESSORS of
newlib-3.1.0 tag?

Thbis makes me wonder whether
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/newlib/newlib-3.1.0.tar.gz was really created from
the newlib-3.1.0 tag?

Hi Josef,

The newlib tag gets created by a shell script I run which at the same time
creates the archive and uploads it.

I can't speak as to why the cygwin tags are the way they are and Corinna is
on vacation at the moment, but perhaps
one of the other Cygwin maintainers can comment.

Simple: Cygwin's version numbering is completely independent of
Newlib's.
