The Secret of Apple's OS X Version Numbering

[MacsRgr8]

As Mac OS X derives much of it's heritage from earlier NeXT releases, here is a list of the NeXT/Apple OS from version 0.8 to 5.6:

• 
  NeXTstep 0.8
  ... < snip >....
  Darwin 7.0-7.5 (Mac OS X v. 10.3.0-10.3.5)*

You left out the buildnumbers.... could you please add them?

I wasn't trying to kill that much time.

On the subject of code names, all the Rhapsody versions were given code names (this start when Apple took over as I've never found any for NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP).

• 
  Rhapsody 5.0- Grail1Z4
  Rhapsody 5.1- Titan1U
  Rhapsody 5.2- unknown
  Rhapsody 5.3- Hera1O9
  Rhapsody 5.4- Hera1O9
  Rhapsody 5.5- Hera1O9+Loki2G1
  Rhapsody 5.6 (Mac OS X Server 1.2)- Pele1Q10
  Rhapsody 5.6 (Mac OS X Server 1.2 v3) - Medusa1E3

I like the cat names better though.
