Versioning

This mod uses a fairly simple version numbering scheme. In general, version numbers take the form:

MC_VERSION-Mm

MC_VERSION is the version of the game the mod works with (as in most mods).

M is the major release version. The major release is advanced when I add some substantial new content to the mod, such as new blocks, items, or mechanics. A few months ago, I increased this number more frequently then I do now, which reflects the change in general development pace the mod has experienced.

m is the minor version as a letter. The minor version is advanced by every non-major update. In the past, this has included patches that affect only some ports of the mod, which means that in major versions before 7 there were some de-synchronizations between the numbering of different branches.

In the future, I plan to add a .x to the end of this version number for porting fixes -- this will avoid the issue mentioned above and ensure that if multiple versions have Mm component, say, 10b, they will both have the same content.
