12differences between protocols to provide a unified interface for

51Versioning policy
52=================
53
54We use an "odd/even" versioning scheme where the minor version (the y in
55x.y.z) determines stability - stable branches have y even, development
56branches have y odd.
57
58Unreleased builds straight from Darcs identify themselves as version
59"x.y.z.1". These are compiled with -Werror, so they might stop working
60if your gcc version issues more warnings than ours. If this is a problem
61for you, use a release tarball.
