Then why not start with 1.0.0 for that? Because going from 0.4.x to 5.x is skipping 4 major versions.

Nice, we have proper version numbers now :)

5.0.0 is also a good choice because it avoids confusion. A: "1.0.0 is the latest version" B: "But I have 4.17. That's a higher number."

B is wrong, because old version numbers do not change. It is still 0.4.17.

we're now basically using SemVer
No, this is false.
You are not using SemVer. What is true is that you are using your own versioning scheme which is partially inspired by SemVer, but that's not the same as using SemVer.
You should not claim or suggest you're using SemVer when you don't fully commit to the rules.

Anyway, to clarify to the confused readers:

CURRENT version: 0.4.17.1
FUTURE version: 5.0.0

There is not, and never has been a version 4.17, 4.17.0, 4.0.0 or anything that starts with a 4.



By the way, now that the leading zero is gone, does that mean Minetest 5.0.0 will be finished, feature-complete, balanced AND bug-free? :D

So it's still a arbitrarily chosen number but now lying about completeness by raising major version from 0 to 5.

Why does having a number higher than 0 mean that it is complete? This is open source stuff, it is never complete. It likely will never be complete until everyone gives up on it (which hopefully doesn't happen unless the world falls apart and WW3 happens or something apocalyptic like that, at which point end of development is understandable). New numbers just means that we are continuing along on this journey, not that we are arriving at a point of completeness.

I would hope the devs will develop Minetest further after major release. Please, get back former 0.5.0 version!

I don't think they're saying that it's complete, I think they're trying to show that it's "production ready", no longer a WIP. It doesn't mean they're going to drop development, it just means they want to show by the way the versioning standard works that the game is playable, and beyond the "omg, we still have so much stuff to implement" stage.

Then let they to switch to 1.0.0 to show this is no WIP longer. Because 5.0.0 means the game is very developed and it can be even to such games as Minecraft, for example. But it is wrong, because Minetest doesn`t have much of stuff that have being awaited, indeed.

When -dev is released and is stable it should be called 1.0 as 5.0.0 is far too high for the release in question.

Exactly.

Plus: Using 5.x as successor of 0.4.x is ridiculous.

Fork it just to change the version number

Yeah the version number doesn't make much sense but whatever happens, I can't care too much. It's a version number.
