Release Policy
Sunday, April 16, 2000:
The policy for releases is as follows:
- 
Major (or public) releases will have an extension
that is divisible by 0.05 (e.g., 0.75, 0.80, 0.85).
Major releases are expected to be stable.
- 
Minor (or development) releases will have an extension
that is divisible by .01 (e.g., 0.71, 0.72, 0.73).
- 
As of release 0.90.0,
the "pico" version number (the third number) also carries a meaning :
 only even numbers are used for releases, the odd numbers are the
development versions between releases.
 This means 0.90.1 is a development version (not a release),
0.90.2 is probably the release to follow 0.90.0.
- 
There has been a time in which minor releases were not very stable.
Writing this is tempting the odds,
but minor releases have been stable for a long time,
we expect them to remain so.
- 
Releases will be accompanied by announcements to
comp.windows.x.motif and various newsgroups and newsfeeds.
Thanks for your continuing support...
