-<p>The minor version number is incremented whenever there is "sufficient need"

-stable and instable branches. The <b>stable branch</b> always has a minor
-version number in the range from 0 to 9. It is expected that the stable branch
-will receive bug and security fixes only. So the range of minor version numbers
-should be quite sufficient.</p>
-<p>For the <b>instable branch</b>, minor version numbers always start at 10 and
-are incremented as needed (again, at the discretion of the developers). Here,
-new minor versions include both fixes as well as new features (hopefully most of
-the time). They are expected to be released quite often.</p>
-<p>The patch level (third number) is incremented whenever a really minor thing
-must be added to an existing version. This is expected to happen quite
