What will be the revision number of alpha 0.0.24?

[fatherbushido]

I open that thread so we can make a pronostic of the revision number of alpha 0.0.24 suggestions, the winner will win the pleasure to have win.

Some hints to help you in your pronostic. I used https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Changelogs#Alpha0.0.x

Pointless Helpful visual analysis:

[Nescio]

25000

(The table is a bit misleading, though, since development on A24 started only about a year ago (26 December 2018), after the rerelease of A23.)

[fatherbushido]

@theotherhiveking: it can appears stupid but we have an obvious linear relationship (even on the whole timeframe). The hardest part is to predict the time of release then. (Even harder the name as you did!)

That puts Alpha 25 somewhere in 2025. Excellent!

The poll is closed. Notice that Nescio was close to the correct revision number.

I didn't exactly know what was exactly the release date, so I took as ending the commit which bumps the version number.

Hey, thanks for sharing the updates with us

Given that I was the only one who suggested a number, it's hardly surprising I won.

This is wrong. You should take the revision that bumps the version number as the start of a new alpha and the release announcement as the end of the previous alpha. Moreover, as I already pointed out over a year ago, your table is misleading, since you're including A23b under A24. If you do it properly, you get:

Xšayāršā: 2991 commits in 787 days (2018-12-26 to 2021-02-20) → 3.801 commits per day

Ken Wood: 2024 commits in 512 days (2017-07-29 to 2018-12-23) → 3.953 commits per day

Venustas: 1007 commits in 259 days (2016-11-10 to 2017-07-27) → 3.888 commits per day

See https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Changelogs

 

PS How's your fork?

[fatherbushido]

Is it what I actually did (the bumping commit being https://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/24939)?

I would agree for introducing a23b in it, but it didn't exactly match in the table: it hasn't a name and why isn't it call a24?

So I am ok for introducing it in the table, but then I would have to include a24b (see http://releases.wildfiregames.com/). In that case, if you link me the related revision number I should use for it, I will include them in the table.

19923 (2017-07-29) was the start of A23 development and 21947 (2018-12-26) was the start of A24 development. You're starting A24 with 21821 (2018-05-16), which is basically shifting the goalposts by seven months, distorting the numbers. A23b was very much part of the release process of A23 and the game remained under a feature freeze; no work was done on A24 during this time. Likewise, A24b is part of A24, not the start of A25. If I recall correctly, the last commit for A24 was on the 18th, the release was bundled on the 19th, and the release announcement was posted on the 20th; one or two things slipped through, which were quickly corrected with the rerelease of A24b on the 21st. Nothing was done in the next few days, to be able to do another rerelease if necessary, and the development of A25 started yesterday, with 24939 (2021-02-27).
