- No. 2.0 is a complete rewrite. It is a MAJOR change of the software. Version
- numbers on software usually follow a patter where the least significant
- numbers indicate maintenance changes to the software (i.e. bug fixes, minor
- feature enhancements) while the most significant numbers indicate major
- feature changes/additions.
-
- Maybe from a USER standpoint there is little functional difference between
- Pointless 1.01 and 2.0 (and congrats to WestCode for THAT), but internally the
- changes are immense.
