166 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
168 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
169 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
170 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
171 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
172 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
173 widespread convention of open source development.
175 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
176 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
177 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
