Title: The NeXT Naming System...
Post by: mrintel on December 10, 2011, 01:26:57 PM
I was looking at my NeXT software, and I noticed that NeXT had a naming scheme for codenames / internal names for software. It was a word and a number and letter. So, I decided to create a list of all of them. If I'm missing one or you know that one that is wrong, feel free to post and let me know.

0.9 => Kodak (0.94)
1.0 => ?
2.0 => ?
2.1 => ?
2.2 => ?
3.0 => ?
3.1 => ?
3.2 => ?
3.3 => Lightning9I
4.0 => ? (beta)

I'll have a look later today (boot up some older systems), but for the internal releases they often used things like 'Fuscia' as well.
