1077 * New version numbering scheme:
1079 - The version numbers are independent of dpkg now, but all policy
1080 manuals (the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Packaging Manual, and
1081 the Debian Developer's Reference) share the same version numbering
1084 - The first three digits of the version number specify the
1085 `Standards-Version.' This number is incremented with each policy
1086 change. The fourth digit represents the `patch-level,' which may
1087 differ between the manuals.
1089 If only the patch-level digit is incremented, no changes in policy
1090 have been made, except bug fixes and clarifications. Packages only
1091 have to specify the first three digits of the version number in the
1092 `Standards-Version' field of their source packages.
1094 * Uploaded to frozen and unstable. This is a documentation-only
1095 package and the changes to the manual are relevant for hamm.
1097 * No changes to the Developer's Reference
