The next version of OgreNext after 2.3 will be 3.0.
This will mark a shift in the naming scheme. The details are in the Github ticket #259.
With versions >= 3.0.0 we will enforce much stronger ABI & API guarantees than what currently OgreNext does; where 3.0.x keeps 100% ABI compatibility, and 3.x.0 must to keep API compatibility >= 95% to make porting easy.
The rules for the name candidates are the same as they were Ogre 2.3.
The name must start with the letter E. As that is Ogre 3.0's codename.
I can't find many deities starting with the letter E:
- Epimetheus
- Erebus
- Eos
- Eir
I excluded "Eros" because of its potential connection to R-18 content.
I'm inclined to remove Eos from the list: a quick google shows it's heavily used by corporations and trademarks.
I'm inclined to remove Epimetheus: The name should ideally be easy to type and remember.
That would leave the list to just Erebus vs Eir.
Do you agree? Have you got other suggestions?
Once we settle we will make a poll to select the winner.
