[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Validator next version

The next version of Hibernate Validator will be Bean Validation based and contain a bridge to support legacy Hibernate Validator. I am wondering about the version number. We have three approaches: - name it 4 but still make it work with Hibernate 3 platform (waiting for the 4th coming) - name it 4 but not making it work for Hibernate 3 - name it 3.2 and make it work with Hibernate 3 platform option 2 is a no go as JPA2 will be Hibernate 3.x based more likely than 4 based. option 3 is a bit of a shame because HV is a massive improvement and API change so that left option 1 but it means we break the "keep the same platform number paradigm" I think we should go for option 1 nevertheless but wanted to ask.
