What software do you know that uses mythological names for its release (version) codenames?
A company I worked for a decade ago used Greek and Norse gods to name our servers. There was Odin and Thor, Zeus and Dionysius, etc. Having been a huge fan of Stargate SG-1, I kept suggesting various Goa’uld names, and one made it through - Chronos.
That’s as close to mythology as I got.
All releases are named after Celtic goddesses/gods from Wales, Ireland, Gaul etc.
Closest I can get is my server is hosted with a company called Mythic Beasts, who use mythological beast names for their hardware.
It would violate my NDA to say anything more than: yes, all of the software I’ve helped develop use the name of mythical creatures during development
Lansweeper uses Belgian beers. Not quite mythological but I think that’s pretty funny.
Don’t know much mythology. Do Thunderbird and Firefox count?
Edit. Just realized those aren’t version codenames.
I just realized thunder+bird is wordplay for fire+fox. Damn am I slow.
For a while Debian had IceDove and IceWeasel due to trademark issues.
Yeah I think everything that I’m aware of uses version numbers, not that the numbers always necessarily make much sense either
