 AC_PREREQ([2.57])
 
 # Making releases:
-# 1. Increment SPICE_MICRO if no interface change has been done
-# 2. Increment SPICE_MINOR and zero SPICE_MICRO if new interfaces have been added,
-#    no changes to existing interfaces.
-# 3. Increment SPICE_MAJOR and zero both SPICE_MINOR and SPICE_MICRO if non
-#    backward compatible changes (interface changed or removed).
-#
-# Then change the libtool versions according to libtool manual:
+# 1. The version is SPICE_MAJOR.SPICE_MINOR.SPICE_MICRO
+# 2. It is generated via a two stage process:
+#   1. Create a tag
+#   2. run configure which calls git-version-gen.
+# 3. Follow these rules for setting the next tag (aka tarball version):
+#   1. SPICE_MAJOR remains 0 until a major change is done.
+#   2. Increment SPICE_MINOR to next even value on a significant release,
+#      updating the release schedule: http://www.spice-space.org/page/Releases
+#   3. Increment SPICE_MINOR otherwise.
+# 4. Follow the libtool manual for the so version:
 #  http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html
