YaST History
The development of YaST started in January 1995. It was written in C++ with a ncurses GUI by Thoamas Fehr (one of the S.u.S.E. founders) and Michael Andres.

Subsequent YaST versions below 1.0 were prime numbers 0.43, 0.47, ... aso. After some versions were called 0.9973 and 0.99733 the developers figured out, that a lot of people take version numbers deadly serious. So they decided to continue above 1.0.
