We plan to make versioning a core feature of FLOW3 because we also need it for TYPO3 Phoenix. We don't have a concrete timeline for this though - currently I'd say that we need to tackle it somewhen this summer, maybe earlier.

What's not possible with FLOW3 1.0 alpha 14 is to have auto incremented ids which you could use as revision numbers. But that will be possible with beta 1 due to the Doctrine 2 support.

Cheers,
Robert
