XenForo community

The numbers are irrelevant. The way XenForo seems to do it is that the second-point release is for new features (i.e. 1.5.0) and third-point release is for revisions. If there's no new features and they're at 1.4.9 already, they won't skip to 1.5.0 just because, they'd be more likely to have 1.4.10 and so on.

Yep, @Daniel Hood is right. There's every possibility we will one day see XF 1.4.10 (though obviously our focus will be maintaining 1.5.x and developing 2.0)

As a very specific example, I'd note that PHP is currently at 5.4.43, 5.5.27 and 5.6.11 (and 7.0.0 beta 1).

@Mike are you saying we could see a jump from xf1.5 to xf1.7? Since php doesn't like 6?

(Spoiler: I'm obviously kidding and know the history of 6)

@Daniel Hood gets the trophy for starting the 1.7 rumour mill :D
