#0) Introduction
################

This document details the different milestones set for Magellan's client and server

development. This document *does not* have anything to do with content. If Hasabushi wants

to take this over, I am ok with that. I started this to get some activity going for the

project.

Feel free to make any suggestions on features, bug fixes, or other changes to the client or

server. I will likely add them unless I don't see a point to it, then you can argue your

case. Don't worry, I'm pretty open minded and I likely will not turn down any suggestions

unless the are flat out ridiculous, not compatible with the engine, or not in line with

project.

This document is still being worked on.


#1) Version System
##################

The version system is based off of the one used in Visual Basic 6. Version numbers are in

the format:

Major.Minor.Revision

The Major number indicates the release state. The Major number is incremented by the Minor

number when the Minor reaches 10. However, this number can increment if it reaches a

milestone.

* 0 is in development
* 1 is released
* 2+ is major game changes

The Minor number indicates the number of small changes made to the game. The Minor number is

incremented by the Revision number when the Revision number reaches 10. However, this number

can increment if it reaches a milestone.

The Revision number indicates any change to the program since the last time it was *built*.

The game's version starts at 0.1.0 since it was started with the Eclipse Origins codebase.
