The new version number format of LZMA Utils is X.Y.ZS: + + - X is the major version. When this is incremented, the library + API and ABI break. + + - Y is the minor version. It is incremented when new features are + added without breaking existing API or ABI. Even Y indicates + stable release and odd Y indicates unstable (alpha or beta + version). + + - Z is the revision. This has different meaning for stable and + unstable releases: + * Stable: Z is incremented when bugs get fixed without adding + any new features. + * Unstable: Z is just a counter. API or ABI of features added + in earlier unstable releases having the same X.Y may break. + + - S indicates stability of the release. It is missing from the + stable releases where Y is an even number. When Y is odd, S + is either "alpha" or "beta" to make it very clear that such + versions are not stable releases. The same X.Y.Z combination is + not used for more than one stability level i.e. after X.Y.Zalpha, + the next version can be X.Y.(Z+1)beta but not X.Y.Zbeta. + + configure options If you are not familiar with `configure' scripts, read the file |
