[5.0-CURRENT continues]</literallayout>
<para>The -CURRENT branch is slowly progressing towards 5.0 and
beyond, the previous 2.2-STABLE branch having been retired
with the release of 2.2.8. 3.4-STABLE has now replaced it,
with 3.4-RELEASE being released in mid-December 1999.
4.0-RELEASE was released in March 2000. Although 4-STABLE
is the actively developed -STABLE branch, bugfixes are
with the release of 2.2.8. 3-STABLE replaced it,
with 3.5.1 (the final 3.X release) being released in July 2000.
In May 2000 (even though 3.5 came after that), the 3-STABLE branch was more or less replaced
by the 4-STABLE branch.
4.1-RELEASE was released in July 2000. 4-STABLE
is the actively developed -STABLE branch, although some
bugfixes (mostly security-related) are
still being committed to 3-STABLE. It is expected that the
3.X branch will be officially obsoleted some time in
summer 2000.
