Pugs - Version Numbering

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.
