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