[Qgis-user] Current version of QGIS

[Jonathan Moules]

It occurs to me - this is a prime example of how this numbering system is
confusing to users. Quite a few folks are talking about using 2.1 and how
something is fixed in it, yet the QGIS webpage only has 2.0 on it. I know I
always hate it when projects do that and wonder why they're not keeping
their web-page updated.
What was the reasoning behind using odd numbers for development versions?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning#Odd-numbered_versions_for_development_releases-
suggests that it only works well for long-release cycles which QGIS
doesn't have any more.
Cheers,
Jonathan
