A. Since version 1.00 the versioning is similar to the kernel versioning scheme. Even numbered releases (a.Xz with even X) are stable, reasonably well tested and expected not to change feature-wise. Odd numbered (a.Y.z with odd Y) releases are development releases. The last digit/number (z) is a subversion identifier. Experimental versions and Release Candidates might add a fourth identifier to that scheme. |

A. Basically the stable (2.Xz) and development (2.Y.z) releases should be similar in functionality for Y = X+1, but the development releases will include features and enhancements not present in the stable branch. Once those features mature (and get well tested ;), they will be incorporated by the stable branch. |

A. 1.Xz, and 1.Y.z releases are for the 2.4 kernels, while 1.9.x (obsoleted by now), and 2.X.y releases are for the 2.6 series. |
