This Feature adds a minor part to the activity version. The idea is to reuse the existing activity_version field as the major part (integer). A new field will be introduced that will be the minor part (fraction) of the new floating point activity version.

Let activity developers release bugfix versions and do not mess them with already released new versions(e.g. bugfix for several-versions-ago release w/o breaking/confusing-users existed versioning scheme).

A new field is added to the activity.info file (activity_minor_version). Internally the activity version will become represented as a float, constructing the value of the minor and major part if the minor part is available. Otherwise the activity version is converted to a float.

In case of backwards compatibility (how < 0.88 and >= 0.88 users will see new version), there could be several options:

 

* use two separate ''activity.info'' fields for version, existing ''activity_version'' and new one with new full version. < 0.88 user will see ''activity_version'', and >= 0.88 version from new field could lead to various misunderstanding e.g. why ''activity_version'' has one value and ''new_field'' has another one

 

* reuse existing ''activity_version'' field as a major part of dotted version and new field for minor part, < 0.88 user will see only ''activity_version'' and >= 0.88 will see ''activity_version''.''new_field'' version, in that case we don't break existing versioning line e.g. Browse-104 will be Browse-104 (even after adding new version w/ incremented ''new_field'' value) for all sugars(but >= 0.88 users will see incremented part)

 

* reuse existing ''activity_version'' field as a minor part of dotted version and new field for major part < 0.88 user will see only ''activity_version'' and >= 0.88 ''new_field''.''activity_version'' version also doesn't break versioning line but could confuse >=0.88 users who upgrade their sugar to 0.88 and will see Browse-2.105
