The policy for releases is as follows:

1. Minor (or development) releases will have an extension that is divisible by .01 (e.g., 0.71, 0.72, 0.73). inor releases may or may not be stable; however, they will at least be compileable.
2. Major (or public) releases will have an extension that is divisible by 0.05 (e.g., 0.75, 0.80, 0.85). Major releases are expected to be reasonably stable. However, major release does not imply "beta" -- just that the team feels the release is suitable for the general public.
3. Major releases are scheduled no fewer than one per quarter or more than one per month (barring occasional brain damage).
4. If we run out of .01 numbers between public releases, we'll probably add a alphabetic extension (0.74a, 0.74b, etc).
5. Major releases will be accompanied by announcements to comp.windows.x.motif, linux-announce, freebsd-announce, etc.
6. Minor releases will be announced to lesstif@hungry.com. Casual members of that list are encouraged to work from the numbered releases; however, for those that want to be on the bleeding edge, lesstif-current will continue to be available.
