What's the rationale behind a release version number that asymptotically

After V.0.99 there is V. 0.100, then V.0.101, etc. Version numbers have dots,

The answer: for example at release 0.275.1, that is when you want, when you
think the software is good enough to be called 1.0.

I think what he means is this:  If you look at the Tango release 
history, the version numbers are

   ...
   0.7
   0.8
   0.9
   0.95
   0.96
   0.97
   0.98
   0.99
   0.99.1
   ...
   0.99.9

and so on, asymptotically approaching 1.0, instead of the (arguably) 
more common

   0.1
   0.2
   ...
   0.9
   0.10
   0.11
   ...
   0.99
   0.100
   0.101
   ...
   0.whatever
   1.0

The question was why they chose the scheme they did, and there really is 
no need for any answer other than "because they felt like it".

Fun fact: TeX version numbers asymptotically approach pi, while METAFONT 
version numbers approach e. :)

My experience of finishing large software projects is that version numbering
which asymptotically approaches 1.0 is a good mapping 
to the way that a project gets completed!

Yeah seriously is it intended to support D2.0 finally when TDPL is going

boosting D's popularity it is then. I encourage all library writers to 
jump the train and try to support D2.0 until then.

Thanks for the hard work. I'm using Tango almost daily and it has really
evolved over the years. IMO just as D excels other languages Tango excels
phobos or even more. In this sense Tango is phobos' D lol (no offense but Tango
rocks:)

How is the whole Tango/Phobos thing going along?
I'd wish I could build all projects on dsource without having to install a
different compiler package/change path :)
D2 maybe?

Installing Tango went bad for me in the past (dsss) and as my projects just
work with the default dmd install I never really got into reading the whole
tango spec and thus don't really know what I am missing out on, although I
suspect the worst :)

Once Tango is ported to D2, then Tango/Phobos should get along just fine (as 
long as you use D2). That's largely what druntime was all about.

If you grab the Tango+DMD bundle from the Tango site, then it's exactly the 
same as installing DMD/Phobos: Just unzip, set path, and run.

Installing Tango overtop an existing DMD/Phobos can be tricky (at least from 
what I recall, been a long time since I attempted it), but the Tango+DMD 
bundles are easy and upgrading the DMD from an existing Tango+DMD bundle 
installation is fairly easy too.

:) Yet another reason to switch to D2 as soon as possible after reading
Andrei's book.

So I shouldn't need to change anything at all in my project? All Phobos calls
will by default be handled correctly? That's nice.

At the moment, no. Currently, Tango is D1-only, but druntime (the thing that 
is supposed to allow Tango and Phobos to play nice together on a single 
installation) is D2-only. So once Tango is ported to D2, I'd imagine there 
will probably be a Tango+DMD2 bundle that will include phobos and all your 
tango *and* phobos calls should work fine. But on D1, a DMD installation is 
either a tango one or a phobos one (unless you use some ugly hacks).

This is what I'd recommend for D1. This is pretty much the way I do it and I 
find it very easy:

1. Grab a Phobos-based DMD from digitalmars.com and unzip it to something 
like "dmd-phobos".

2. Grab a Tango+DMD bundle from the Tango site and unzip it to something 
like "dmd-tango".

3. Set your path to "dmd/bin" (Yes, "dmd", not "dmd-phobos" or "dmd-tango", 
just "dmd").

4. Windows: Create a batch script "Switch to DMD Phobos.bat" that deletes 
the "dmd" directory tree and then copies "dmd-phobos" to "dmd". Do the same 
for Tango, and then run either of those when you want to switch.

Ex (Helpful because I find the appropriate rmdir and xcopy switches to be 
incredibly hard to remember)
----------------------
 echo off
echo Switching to Tango...

echo Removing old dmd...
rmdir /S /Q dmd

echo Copying new dmd...
xcopy dmd-tango dmd /E /C /I /Q /H /K /Y

echo Done!
----------------------

4. Unix: Same as windows but make "dmd" a symlink to 
"dmd-phobos"/"dmd-tango" instead of actually copying (I *think* that should 
work. If not, you can still just copy it like on Windows). And obviously use 
sh or bash or something instead of batch.

Not sure offhand of the cmd-line to do that, but should be easy to google if 
you don't already know anyway.

fsutil hardlink create <new filename> <existing filename>

You'll need administrator privileges to run it (because most of its

stuff like that), but it looks like it works on XP and up (2000 doesn't 
appear to support it, but I can't tell for sure). And, of course, it 
only works on NTFS partitions, but that should be a given.

AIUI, that's still a little bit different from a symlink. Unix has a concept 
of a hardlink too (I think that's what they call it), so I'm assuming that's 
more like what this is. Still, good to know that it's there.

BTW, after googling to check that "hardlink" is the term Unix uses for the 
other symlink-ish thing it has, I just stumbled across this:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-symlinks-in-windows-vista/

Symlinks that "don't work quite as well as they could" on Vista and up. (Not 
much good for me though, as I'm on XP).

Starting with Vista, MS exposed the ability to have symlinks and 
hardlinks on windows, just run "help mklink" in a cmd.exe.

In reality NTFS supported this for a long time now (IIRC, since circa 
2000) but the problem is that the windows shell/cmd.exe is always late 
at providing access to new NTFS features - they're always late by at 
least one version of windows so this is why you can't do that on XP even 
though the NTFS version that comes with XP does support it.

Oh, so at least in theory, symlinks should still be possible on 2k/XP given 
a third-party tool to manage them and avoidance of using them on the 
command-line and in batch files?

Given that SysInternals had a tool for doing hard links on 2000+, but no
tool for doing symlinks, I doubt it.

I recall reading something about how symlinks were new to Vista
specifically; not simply a tool to make them, but something changed in
NTFS or the system's support for it.

 Starting with Vista, MS exposed the ability to have symlinks and hardlinks
 on windows, just run "help mklink" in a cmd.exe.

 In reality NTFS supported this for a long time now (IIRC, since circa
 2000) but the problem is that the windows shell/cmd.exe is always late at
 providing access to new NTFS features - they're always late by at least
 one version of windows so this is why you can't do that on XP even though
 the NTFS version that comes with XP does support it.


 Oh, so at least in theory, symlinks should still be possible on 2k/XP given
 a third-party tool to manage them and avoidance of using them on the
 command-line and in batch files?


 Given that SysInternals had a tool for doing hard links on 2000+, but no
 tool for doing symlinks, I doubt it.

 I recall reading something about how symlinks were new to Vista
 specifically; not simply a tool to make them, but something changed in
 NTFS or the system's support for it.

I think this provides the ability to have symlinks on windows XP. I'm 
not 100% sure since it's in Japanese.

If you run it through google translater, and (attempt to) read through the 
"Symbolic misconception that Windows NT/2000/XP is available in" section, it 
sounds like he saying that pre-vista could only do hardlinks and junctions 
but that some people (maybe the author?) had been inaccurately calling them 
"symlinks" anyway, thus causing confusion. But of course, that's assuming 
that the translation is accurate and that I'm actually interpreting the 
translation correctly.

I can't say that I fully understand what that page says, but it seems 
that this utility does provide for some sort of symlinks for files.

Anyway, I'm not that interested in support for a decade old and 
deprecated OS - I've upgraded long time ago and currently use both Vista 
and Win7. I'll be upgrading my Vista to Win7 as soon as I get some free 
time.
My 4 y/o laptop that I already upgraded runs faster with Win7 compared 
to XP tablet edition it had before.

Really? You know, I've heard a *lot* about Win7 being better than Vista, 
with one of those improvements being speed, but this is the first I've seen 
*any* direct comparison of Win7 to XP. And I have to say I'm very surprised 
to hear that it runs faster...Although...What kind of hardware do you have 
in that laptop? Probably 64-bit multi-core, I'm guessing, right? I wouldn't 
be totally surprised if something like that does runs faster on Win7, but 
with hardware like that it still would have been super-fast anyway - like 
getting an extra 10 horsepower out of a porche (And if all the car 
dealerships stop selling everything except porches...well, they'd still be 
porches, period). And I think I heard somewhere that Win7 required a minimum 
of 4GB ram (or was that just Vista?). If so, anythng less than that would 
certainly make Win7 run vastly slower than XP, if even at all.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
I have a ThinkPad x41-tablet (almost 4 years old) which came with win XP 
tablet edition which I hated to reboot since it took 10 minutes or so. I 
kept putting it in hibernate instead. I wouldn't even consider putting 
Vista on it cause it won't boot at all with that.

Since I installed a fresh Win7 copy on it it runs much better and boots 
almost immediately. I also read online similar reports by other owners 
of the X41-tablet.

you can find the spec online but in short it's a pentium-m with a 1.5gb 
ram (I added 1gb long time ago to make the XP work better). 32bit, no 
multi-core.

I don't like MS software in general (they do make wicked hardware though 
- best keyboards and mice) but this time they managed to do a decent 
job. Of course Ubuntu will run 5 times faster on similar hardware with 
only 256mb ram. Unfortunately that's not really the best option for a 
tablet PC.

Well, in that case, I admit I'm very surprised and quite impressed (Not 
totally unprecedented, though, I was quite surprised and impressed with XP 
back in the day). (Also from what I had been hearing from other people even 
as far back as four year ago, *allegedly* such "low-end" hardware couldn't 
be bought at the stores. Guess that was a load of hooey after all.)

I've heard that for Win7, MS put a lot of effort into 
customizability/configurability. Do you have any idea if it can be adjusted 
to the look & feel of XP (with Luna turned off, obviously)? For example, 
open/save dialogs without all the space-wasting junk they added in Vista, 
have "All Programs" as popups instead of being in-set, maybe a Win Explorer 
location bar that stays as a normal text entry field, and the old taskbar in 
case I end up not liking new one. I'm very set in my ways ;) If so, then I 
might actually switch after all. (Otherwise I'll wait for my sister's new 
laptop to arrive and play around with that, and see what I think.)


 I don't like MS software in general (they do make wicked hardware though - 
 best keyboards and mice)


They do have great keyboards and mice (although I find their trackballs 
uncomfortable, I like my Logitech trackball much better), but I've had 
terrible experience with every other piece of MS hardware I've dealt with. 
The D-Pads on their game controllers have been garbage as far back as the 
old SideWinders (I think that was the name of them). My XBox 1 developed a 
broken trace on the motherboard that I had to fix, and some motor has been 
making far more noise than it should for the last few years, and a few units 
were known to catch fire because the power port was connected to the MB by 
nothing more than notably crappy solder joint. The 360's are notorious for 

anyone who isn't deluded by fanboyism). At one point the 360 failure rate 
was literally about 1 in 3, and most replacement systems were DOA ("360" may 
as well have referred to the support cycle). I had a Zune 1 (greatest UI on 
a portable music player by far, IMO, but only on the first-generation Zune, 
and obviously, connecting it to a computer is all kinds of hell, that's why 
I now use Rockbox on a Toshiba Gigabeat even though Rockbox is kinda screwy 
and ugly and the directional "buttons" are crap.) but as soon as I tried to 
use the TV-out, the IC that drives the analog-out port fried killing both 
the TV-out and right audio channel, and MS wouldn't do a thing about it.

Although to be perfectly fair, Apple seems to be no better with hardware 
reliability. My brother, sister and I have all had one Mac each, and my 
uncle has been using them exclusively since the beginning of time. Well, my 
brother's, sister's and my Macs have all had hardware problems. Mine, for 
example, had the IDE controller go bad and take the HDD with it - only HDD 
I've ever had go bad on me (knock on wood...)...and it still went downhill 
even from there: now it won't even power up, let alone initiate the start of 
the boot sequence (All those boot-time keyboard combos are useless because 
it never actually gets that far. And keep in mind, this Mac is the *newest* 
computer I own.)  And every time I talk to my uncle he's having a big battle 
with Apple about some major hardware component going bad and them not being 
able to get their act together about it (And yet he still swears by them, go 
figure). And my brother's first iPod died after two days.


 but this time they managed to do a decent job. Of course Ubuntu will run 5 
 times faster on similar hardware with only 256mb ram. Unfortunately that's 
 not really the best option for a tablet PC.


Unless I end up going to Win7 and being happier with it than I always 
thought I would be, I could totally imagine myself switching to Ubuntu 
sometime in the next few years...Well...*IF* I could ever find a file 
manager I actually liked (I've tried them all, I don't like any of 
them)...and if they ever stop treating Kubuntu like the proverbial 
red-headded stepchild...and if they ever decide to actually *fix* the 
problem where it defaults to 640x480 (or was it 800x600?) when you boot with 
the monitor turned off instead of constantly passng the buck on that issue 
( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/12301 )...and if the 
KDE and Gnome people ever get their acts together enough to provide users 
with a *common* set of configuration settings.

In F:\Programs\DigitalMars, I have:

- dmd-1.035-tango-0.99.8
- dmd-1.051
- dmd-1.051-tango-trunk

Then there's dmdenv.cmd on the PATH:

 ECHO OFF
IF "%1"=="" GOTO DEFAULT
IF "%1"=="?" GOTO LIST
set DMDVER=%1
GOTO DOIT

:LIST
echo List of available DMD versions:
pushd F:\Programs\DigitalMars
dir /ad /b dmd-*
popd
goto END

:DEFAULT
SET DMDVER=default

:DOIT
echo Adding dmd-%DMDVER% to PATH...
PUSHD F:\Programs\DigitalMars
SET PATH=%CD%\dmd-%DMDVER%\bin;%PATH%
POPD

:END


Prior to compiling anything, I just run `dmdenv BLAH` to get the correct
compiler on the path.

No messing around with junctions or deleting or copying.

Several months ago I got it up to date to work with the DMD + Tango

 If you grab the Tango+DMD bundle from the Tango site, then it's exactly 
 the
 same as installing DMD/Phobos: Just unzip, set path, and run.


 So I shouldn't need to change anything at all in my project? All Phobos 
 calls will by default be handled correctly? That's nice.


 
 At the moment, no. Currently, Tango is D1-only, but druntime (the thing that 
 is supposed to allow Tango and Phobos to play nice together on a single 
 installation) is D2-only.


There is actually a version of druntime for D1, it just isn't use by Phobos for
backwards-compatibility reasons.  I also stopped maintaining it a while back
because no one was using it.  But the branch is still there if anyone cares
enough to bring it up to date.
