150 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
152 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
153 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
154 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
155 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
156 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
157 widespread convention of open source development.
159 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
160 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
161 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
