medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so

that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.<P>

Note (1): as the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines:
 |

We are adopting the Linux kernel style of numbering system where odd minor version numbers are development
 | 
			
		||||
versions, and even numbers are stable versions. For example, 2.1.x are development releases,
 | 
			
		||||
and the next 'stable' or final release of it would be 2.2.<P>
 | 
			
		||||
 |

Bug-fix patches to the stable release (if made) then become point
 | 
			
		||||
releases of 2.2 (2.2.x) while development continues with wild abandon
 | 
			
		||||
on 2.3.x until the end of the next development cycle when it is
 | 
			
		||||
released as 2.4.<P>
 |

 | 
			
		||||
Development versions that end up on the FTP site or CD-ROM, as opposed to remaining
 | 
			
		||||
in the CVS archive, are semi-stable -- i.e. they are checked for compilation and
 | 
			
		||||
run-time problems, but not as thoroughly as the stable versions.<P>
 | 
			
		||||
 |

Note that since the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines:
 | 
			
		||||
but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.<P>
