158 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
159 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
160 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
161 widespread convention of open source development.

164 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
165 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
