OBS Studio Switches to Usage of a New Versioning System
Quoting: OBS Studio Switches to Usage of a New Versioning System —
With OBS Studio 31 just around the corner, the team has decided to change the version numbering scheme used. Over the years, OBS has grown significantly, and according to the devs, finding the right balance between adding new features, maintaining stability, and making versioning clear for users is very important.
For those unfamiliar, OBS Studio has been around for over ten years, evolving immensely in functionality, code complexity, and community. This growth brought its fair share of challenges, especially regarding development and organization.
Up until version 30, there wasn’t a consistent system for versioning. Releases came when there were enough new features or fixes, and version numbers were assigned based on how significant those changes seemed.
