Using the Version History

The table above presents a snapshot of our version history in "most recent first" order. It begins in the future with a "WISH" list of feature suggestions for future development. It then optionally lists the particulars of the version that is currently (or soon will be) under development.

Next, the versions that have actually been released are listed along with their release dates and version numbers. The most recently released version will be listed first with the release date and version number displayed in bold. Versions that have a release date will show their most recent stability ratings under the date.
