版本管理

Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases were changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning into a time stamp based numbering. Regular releases are identified by names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date.Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix releases in "stable" maintenance trees.

从2008年10月的发布开始，发布版本的名字从没有深层意义的数字变为以时间戳编号。定期发布的标识名，由发布时的年份和月份组成。其它字段(如果存在)表示候选的发布，或者在稳定维护树中修正BUG的发布。
