Pakku version names
===================

Pakku releases are butterflies 🦋

A release gets a name instead of a number: the name of a butterfly, or the word "butterfly"
in one of the many languages that have a pretty one.

How a name is chosen

  - Names go in alphabetical order. ava, then bellona, then caria ... so a newer Pakku always
    sorts after an older one, and `pakku update` (and Raku's Version) know which way is up.
    celastrina < chou works for the same reason: two names may share a letter, as long as the
    second one sorts after the first.

  - For the next letter there are always a few butterflies to pick from. The one that fits what
    the release is about wins: the name is chosen before the work starts, with the work in mind.

  - What comes after a release (fixes, answers to issues, small features) keeps the name and
    counts: chou.1, chou.2 ... A new name is for a new direction.


Released

  pupa        2020-09   Before the names: the experimenting years. Not a butterfly yet, the
                        transformation was still going on inside.

  ava         2022-12   Where the journey begins. The first real Pakku: reimagined from the
                        ground up.

  bellona     2023-03   A meadow fritillary, named after a goddess who does not leave the field.
                        Pakku kept flying: JSON config, runtime / test / build dependencies
                        told apart, tests running side by side.

  caria       2023-05   A metalmark, and Pakku carrying on: recommendation managers reworked
  .. caria.13           (local ones too), a search that forgives, the `contained` option.

  celastrina  2023-09   The pretty one. Celastrina are the little azure blues, and this is the
  .. celastrina.6       Pakku that learned bars, spinners and showing what it is precompiling.

  chou        2026-10   Chou (蝶) is simply "butterfly" in Japanese. The ecosystem release:
  .. chou.3             Pakku moved to where the dists live (fez and REA). And chou chews:
                        this is the release that eats bugs, a few with every chou.N.


The logs are a journey too

  What Pakku prints follows the same story. A line that made it is a butterfly 🦋 or a
  fairy 🧚: it has its wings. The caterpillar 🐛 is the debug output, still on its way. The
  bee 🐝 is the busy one: every little thing done, in order, for those who ask for all of it.
  The ladybug 🐞 wears its colors to be noticed, so that is the warning. And an error is a
  cricket 🦗: the one that did not transform.
