83 ========================================================================
87 Original version of Gnus.
88 Each version has a tag of the form "qgnus-0_XY" or "gnus-5_X_Y" or
91 The branch tag for the vendor branch is "larsi".
95 Semi-gnus was developed on the main trunk until current branch-
96 management plan (See "Public Branches" below) was introduced.
97 Each version has a tag of the form "gnus-6_N2_N3". (0 < N2 < 5)
101 Current main stream of Semi-gnus development.
103 [Goal and policy of public branches here ???]
105 Each branch has a tag of the form "gnus-N1_N2" and each version
106 has a tag of the form "gnus-N1_N2_N3".
108 N1, N2, and N3 are changed by the following rules.
110 N1 will be incremented if any fundamental architecture change is
111 made. Of cource, in this case, N2 and N3 will be reset to zero.
113 N2 will be incremented and new branch will be made if any "major
114 changes" are made. "major changes" include API changes, major
115 version up of original Gnus, or synchronization with original Gnus
116 which requires design decision.
118 N3 will be incremented if some "minor changes" are made. "minor
119 changes" include small bug fix or synchronization with original Gnus
120 without design decision.
122 The following branch tags are currently available.
124 for-semi-1_5 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.5 API
125 for-semi-1_6 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.6 API
126 gnus-6_5 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.7 API

129 gnus-6_8 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.8, FLIM 1.8 API (stable)
130 gnus-6_9 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.11, FLIM 1.12 API (stable)
131 gnus-6_10 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.12, FLIM 1.12 API (develop)
132 pgnus-ichikawa (Main trunk of T-gnus)
133 t-gnus-6_12 T-gnus for SEMI 1.12/1.13, FLIM 1.12 API (stable)
134 t-gnus-6_13 T-gnus for SEMI 1.13, FLIM 1.13 API (develop)

136 t-gnus-6_15-quimby T-gnus for SEMI 1.13, FLIM 1.13 API (develop)
140 Some Semi-gnus developers have their own "personal branches".
141 Each personal branch may have its own goal and/or policy.
142 See README.${tag} (if exists) for information of each branch.
