Version Numbering
The major/minor version numbers of Pugs converges to 2π (being reminiscent of TeX and METAFONT, which use a similar scheme); each significant digit in the minor version represents a successfully completed milestone. The third digit is incremented for each release. The current milestones are:
- 6.0: Initial release.
- 6.2: Basic IO and control flow elements; mutable variables; assignment.
- 6.28: Classes and traits.
- 6.283: Rules and Grammars.
- 6.2831: Type system and linking.
- 6.28318: Macros.
- 6.283185: Port Pugs to Perl 6, if needed.

Famous quotes containing the words version and/or numbering:
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
“The task he undertakes
Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
