-* '''Major releases''' always have '''even numbers''' as the second version element, i.e. 2.6.0, 2.8.0, 3.0.0.
+FlightGear version numbers exist of three digits, seperated by dots:
-* '''Bugfix releases''' increase the least significant digit: 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3.
+* '''Major''' (<u>2</u>.4.1): is only increased after significant changes to the functionality of the software, i.e. 1.X.X => 2.0.0 (due to switch to OSG).
-* The '''development stream''' (''latest Git version'') uses an '''odd number''', increasing the second element of the latest stable release's version by 1: (latest release is 2.8.0 =&gt; current development stream is 2.9.0, next official release is 3.0.0).
+* '''Minor''' (2.<u>4</u>.1): has two applications:
-* The major version number is increased after significant changes to the functionality of the software (i.e. FG 1.x => 2.0 due to switch to OSG).
+** '''Stable releases''' always have ''even numbers'', i.e. 2.6.0, 2.8.0, 3.0.0.

+* '''Revision''' (2.4.<u>1</u>): is increased by bugfix releases, i.e. 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3.
