1 2NTP uses A.B.C - style release numbers. 3 4At the moment: 5 6 A is 4, for ntp V4. 7 B is the major release number. 8 C is the minor release number. Even numbers are 'stable' releases and 9 odd numbers are "development" releases. 10 11Following the release number may be the letter 'p' followed by a number. 12This indicates a point (or patch) release. 13 14Release candidates have -RC in the release number. 15 16Here are some recent versions numbers as an example: 17 18 4.2.2 A production release (from the ntp-stable repository) 19 4.2.2p2 A production release (from the ntp-stable repository) 20 4.2.3p12 A development release 21 4.2.3p15-rc1 A release candidate for 4.2.4 22 23Note that after the ntp-dev repo produces a production release it will 24be copied into the ntp-stable and the cycle will repeat. 25 26Feel free to suggest improvements... 27 28
