The upcoming Blender 5.0 3D modeling software application ... '
I can remember, back in the day, when Blender’s version numbers went up like 2.50, 2.51 ... 2.60, 2.61 ... all the way up to 2.83. Then they started going up in larger jumps: after 2.83 came 2.90. After 2.93 came 3.0. Since then, the version numbers have been changing in the first digit after the dot, not the second digit any more. But after 3.6 came 4.0, and now after 4.4 we are going to get 5.0. This is all fine, except I wonder what’s going to happen to the file format. Because the field for holding the major version number only has room for one digit.
