ClojureScript will use a release strategy based on Git tags and a monotonically-increasing release number.

ClojureScript Release Tags

The tag "v0.0" points to the first commit in the ClojureScript Git repository
Releases are tagged like "r999" where 999 is the number of commits on master since v0.0
- This number can be obtained by running git describe --match v0.0

ClojureScript Maven Releases

One big JAR containing GClosure library & compiler
- GClosure is not published to a Maven repository
- GClosure is released under the Apache License 2.0
  - No obligations other than inclusion of license
Version numbers...?
- Something like "0.0-r999" where 999 is the tag described above

Version comparison tests in different versions of Maven:

Is this...	older than...?	Maven 2.0.9	Maven 2.2.1	Maven 3.0.3
0.0-r1	0.0-r2	yes	yes	yes
0.0-r123	0.0-r456	yes	yes	yes
0.0-r20	0.0-r123	NO	NO	yes
0.0-1	0.0-2	yes	yes	yes
0.0-123	0.0-456	yes	yes	yes
0.0-20	0.0-123	yes	yes	yes

Maven 2.x will treat any version string component containing non-numeric characters as an opaque string, sorted lexicographically. Maven 3.x correctly splits version strings at letter-number boundaries. Both 2.x and 3.x behave correctly when the version string does not mix numbers and letters.
