This file describes the numbering system for this game's updates.


Since this is considered the "sequel" to the original GemSlider, the first version released
as a beta will be 2.0.  All builds preceeding this will be Alpha.


Kouriku 0.0 corresponds directly to beginning documentation and prototyping.

Kouriku 1.0 is the alpha implementation for testing out partial basic aspects of the engine.

Kouriku 2.0 corresponds directly to GemSlider 1.0 Beta.  All builds hereafter of this
particular build of the engine will begin as 2.xx.

In order for a version number to increase by one, a common recurring bug or a noticeable
additional feature must be added.  Another way to increase the number by one is by a 
multiple of smaller changes which result in more efficient memory usage and faster runtime. 
Another way I increase Version Numbers is normally by time, if any significant amount of
work has been done.
