1078 developers-reference (2.4.1.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1080 * New version numbering scheme:
1082 - The version numbers are independent of dpkg now, but all policy
1083 manuals (the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Packaging Manual, and
1084 the Debian Developer's Reference) share the same version numbering
1087 - The first three digits of the version number specify the
1088 `Standards-Version.' This number is incremented with each policy
1089 change. The fourth digit represents the `patch-level,' which may
1090 differ between the manuals.
1092 If only the patch-level digit is incremented, no changes in policy
1093 have been made, except bug fixes and clarifications. Packages only
1094 have to specify the first three digits of the version number in the
1095 `Standards-Version' field of their source packages.
1097 * Uploaded to frozen and unstable. This is a documentation-only
1098 package and the changes to the manual are relevant for hamm.
1100 * No changes to the Developer's Reference
