56 Original version of Gnus.
57 Each version has a tag of the form "qgnus-0_XY" or "gnus-5_X_Y" or
60 The branch tag for the vendor branch is "larsi".
64 Semi-gnus was developed on the main trunk until current branch-
65 management plan (See "Public Branches" below) was introduced.
66 Each version has a tag of the form "gnus-6_N2_N3". (0 < N2 < 5)
70 Current main stream of Semi-gnus development.
72 [Goal and policy of public branches here ???]
74 Each branch has a tag of the form "gnus-N1_N2" and each version
75 has a tag of the form "gnus-N1_N2_N3".
77 N1, N2, and N3 are changed by the following rules.
79 N1 will be incremented if any fundamental architecture change is
80 made. Of cource, in this case, N2 and N3 will be reset to zero.
82 N2 will be incremented and new branch will be made if any "major
83 changes" are made. "major changes" include API changes, major
84 version up of original Gnus, or synchronization with original Gnus
85 which requires design decision.
87 N3 will be incremented if some "minor changes" are made. "minor
88 changes" include small bug fix or synchronization with original Gnus
89 without design decision.
91 The following branch tags are currently available.
93 for-semi-1_5 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.5 API
94 for-semi-1_6 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.6 API
95 gnus-6_5 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.7 API
96 gnus-6_6 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.8, FLIM 1.7 API (stable)
97 gnus-6_7 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.8, FLIM 1.7 API (stable)
98 gnus-6_8 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.8, FLIM 1.8 API (stable)
99 gnus-6_9 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.11, FLIM 1.12 API (stable)
100 gnus-6_10 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.12, FLIM 1.12 API (develop)
104 Some Semi-gnus developers have their own "personal branches".
105 Each personal branch may have its own goal and/or policy.
106 See README.${tag} (if exists) for information of each branch.
