      Version numbering

      -
      -

      - Since version 3.0.0, QEMU uses a time based version numbering scheme: -

      -
      -
      major
      -
      incremented by 1 for the first release of the year
      -
      minor
      -
      reset to 0 with every major increment, otherwise incremented by 1 for each release from git master
      -
      micro
      -
      always 0 for releases from git master, incremented by 1 for each stable branch release
      -
      -

      - The implication of this is that changes in major version number - do not have any bearing on the scope of changes - included in the release. Non-backward compatible changes may be made - in any master branch release, provided they have followed the - deprecation policy - which calls for warnings to be emitted for a minimum of two releases - prior to the change. -
