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