mmmm, with version numbers I think it makes more sense for 2.9 to represent 2.09.
That way, you can make a minor update (but not a tiny one) after 2.9 and have somewhere to go that isn't 3.0.
going 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10 seems better than going 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.91 or 2.95.
Except you can't go to 2.09 cause it's less then 2.7.

Also with an update like yours it does deserve a major version jump.

3.0 makes a lot of sense.


Edit: And also, something like 2.91 (better said as 2.9.1 is to minor of a version. It brings a lot of features to a new fw so it makes sense to be 3.0.
 
Software engineer here. Revision numbers don't correspond to their decimal-numeric counterparts

ie
2.9 != 2.90 != 2.90000

There can be more than one decimal place in the number, and they simply reflect revisions in the software. The leftmost numbers are more significant than numbers to their right, and their value is simply the number displayed (don't assume factors of ten).

So 2.9 refers to major software release '2', minor revision release '9'. If there's a third number, it usually refers to bug fixes.

Of course it completely depends on the developer - none of this is standardized in a formal way.

This is a huge revision for the Gateway software, so we can probably expect this to be version 3.0. They may even completely rebrand themselves for this release, who knows.

Well said, would have pulled up an article for everyone but I'm on my phone atm lol
 
I've kinda' been saying this 3.0 stuff since I joined. I mean, I'm surprised no one questioned it already.

Also, for the record: I've lurked here for years when I was modding Wiis n' junk, I only joined because I live in BFE now and have nil contact with others and needed community. This thread has kinda proven you guys have that here, despite the occasional arguments and trolling.

I'm getting downright sick of waiting for this update, though. As it is my girlfriend's Christmas present and her son's games/present (I'm giving him my physical copies after I rip them) are a week late to them. x_x
 
HAPPY NEW YEARS !!! (in france, maybe in German or other European country !!!)
