pgAdmin 4?

hello,

why do you name the software pgAdmin 4 v9.7.

in most cases pgAdmin 3 is too old therefore pgAdmin 4 is the most use tool for postgres. it's confusing if you write pgAdmin 4 and then the version number. 

it should be able to understand what pgAdmin 9.7 means. it means pgAdmin 4 in the version 9.7. I suggest you to change the name of pgAdmin 4 at least in version 10.

so instead of pgAdmin 4 v10 simply write pgAdmin 10.

Sincerely

There is a history behind everything. :)

If you think pgAdmin's versioning scheme is a problem, you'll love how its gone 
with the official Perl language implementation which has taken this scheme much 
further.

"Perl 5" has had about 25 major production versions so far over 30 years; its 
now on "Perl 5 version 42". (Those versions were 0 thru 6 incrementing by 1, and 
then it went to 8, 10, incrementing by 2 since then to the present.)

I forgot how mailing lists work.

So pgAdmin III uses C++ and wxWidgets and pgAdmin 4 uses web-based technologies?

Yes.
 

That's interesting but the question is, will there be a pgAdmin 5?

It's not impossible. There have been 3 other complete rewrites over the last 28 years after all (4, if you count to original rewrite of pgManager to pgAdmin I).
 
If a web based model is the future, then why shouldn't we say pgAdmin v10 or simply pgAdmin 10?

In another 50 years we might - and I say that only half-jokingly, as I certainly didn't expect pgAdmin to still be an active project with millions of downloads after nearly 30 years. Will pgAdmin be around in another 50 years? I doubt it, but I'm not going to definitively say no.
 

My question should lead to another question: Will there be a pgAdmin 5?

Maybe - who knows what the future will hold, or what technology changes might force another rewrite?
