(original) (raw)

But "minor version" and "major version" are readily understandable to the general reader, e.g. me, whereas "feature release" and "release series" I find are not. �Couldn't the first two terms be defined once and then used throughout?

Indeed. "Feature release" (2.7, 3.2, 3.3) and "release series" (2.x,
3.x) are the least confusing terms we have available.

I minimally edited what was already there to correct what is now an error. The change comes immediately after a section defining major, minor, and micro releases. To change terms,
http://docs.python.org/devguide/devcycle.html
and possibly other pages needs more extensive editing.
