88 Original version of Gnus.
89 Each version has a tag of the form "qgnus-0_XY" or "gnus-5_X_Y" or
92 The branch tag for the vendor branch is "larsi".
96 Semi-gnus was developed on the main trunk until current branch-
97 management plan (See "Public Branches" below) was introduced.
98 Each version has a tag of the form "gnus-6_N2_N3". (0 < N2 < 5)
102 Current main stream of Semi-gnus development.
104 [Goal and policy of public branches here ???]
106 Each branch has a tag of the form "gnus-N1_N2" and each version
107 has a tag of the form "gnus-N1_N2_N3".
109 N1, N2, and N3 are changed by the following rules.
111 N1 will be incremented if any fundamental architecture change is
112 made. Of cource, in this case, N2 and N3 will be reset to zero.
114 N2 will be incremented and new branch will be made if any "major
115 changes" are made. "major changes" include API changes, major
116 version up of original Gnus, or synchronization with original Gnus
117 which requires design decision.
119 N3 will be incremented if some "minor changes" are made. "minor
120 changes" include small bug fix or synchronization with original Gnus
121 without design decision.
123 The following branch tags are currently available.
125 for-semi-1_5 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.5 API
126 for-semi-1_6 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.6 API
127 gnus-6_5 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.7 API
128 gnus-6_6 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.8, FLIM 1.7 API (stable)
129 gnus-6_7 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.8, FLIM 1.7 API (stable)
130 gnus-6_8 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.8, FLIM 1.8 API (stable)
131 gnus-6_9 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.11, FLIM 1.12 API (stable)
132 gnus-6_10 Semi-gnus for SEMI 1.12, FLIM 1.12 API (develop)
133 pgnus-ichikawa (Main trunk of T-gnus)
134 t-gnus-6_12 T-gnus for SEMI 1.12/1.13, FLIM 1.12 API (stable)
135 t-gnus-6_13 T-gnus for SEMI 1.13, FLIM 1.13 API (develop)
136 t-gnus-6_14 T-gnus for SEMI 1.13, FLIM 1.13 API (develop)
137 t-gnus-6_15 T-gnus for SEMI 1.14, FLIM 1.14 API (develop)
138 t-gnus-6_15-quimby T-gnus for SEMI 1.14, FLIM 1.14 API (develop)
140 Note: T-gnus versions 6.15 based on Oort Gnus v0.03 and earlier
141 had supported SEMI 1.13 and FLIM 1.13 as well.
145 Some Semi-gnus developers have their own "personal branches".
146 Each personal branch may have its own goal and/or policy.
147 See README.${tag} (if exists) for information of each branch.
