As long time users know, my version numbering system is a bit non-standard. I also do highly incremental product releases, to the dismay of some who would prefer fewer releases. Lastly, I develop in parallel - always having a stable and beta/dev branch. That way I can back-port fixes and small adjustments to the last stable version at any time.
Version 4 will be rolled out first as a series of ever-escalating v3 beta versions. Beta versions are odd numbers, such as v3.85 beta. The least significant digit after the '.' does not count (e.g. 3.84.4 final). As I add more and more features to the code base, the beta series version number will increase. So, there will be a v3.85 beta series, then maybe a v3.89 beta series, all without a v3.86 final (the difference from norm).
New final version of 3 will likely be confined to v3.84. So, you will see v3.84.4, v3.84.5, ... These will be simple select back-ports.
Convoluted enough? Well, it makes sense to me at least ;). All that matters is the final product. I am putting more into this than I ever have. Even if I never make a dime from it, it will be the best version of Process Lasso ever created, just for my own personal sense of accomplishment.
So, soon I'll release v3.85.0 beta, which will actually be the start of the v4 program. It will quickly escalate, if everything goes as planned.
