So versions will be major.minor.revision, where major will be changed only
if something BIG changes (architectural redesign as in 3.x -> 4.x), minor
will be changed if ABI compatibility is damaged and revision in the rest
of cases? And of course, 4.0.x is stable and 4.1.x is devel. That's good
for me.

Have a nice day.
