Hello

Ok, I'm confused about how the version numbering works for xoops. I've done a search with various terms and checked the substantial faq, but couldn't find a full explanation

On the homepage it indicates that 2.0.13.1 is the latest stable release for production sites, though this isn't actually stated clearly (and only implied because the other version is a RC)
When you click on the other prominent main "download now!" link on the homepage, it lists a whole load of package versions.

Does the version numbering follow the same logic as linux?
That is, the second digit, if even numbered denotes a stable release?
On some threads for example I've seen it suggested that 2.2.2 should be used rather than 2.2.3RC1 which makes sense. But is 2.2.2 according to the version numbering stable for a production site then? How then does it differ from the 2.0.13.1?
As you can see, I'm getting lost

Could someone please point me to the right place for this info

thanks

2.0.13.1 is the best to use at the moment.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I kinda figured out that 2.0.13.1 is the 'official' one to use at the moment.

But my question also relates to what's the logic of the version numbering of xoops.
If 2.0.13.1 is the version to use, how is this indicated in its numbering compared to say 2.2.2? Or do things not work like that?

Sorry, I know its a pedantic question, but I'm feeling ignorant at the moment

regards
