187 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
188 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
189 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
190 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
191 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
192 widespread convention of open source development.
194 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
195 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
196 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
