As with Linux, odd minor numbers are used for "developer releases" which are not guaranteed to be stable. After several developer releases, if the code is considered to be stable, the next version will get an even minor number. So, for example, after V0.9.19, V1.0.0 might be released.
This has been changed to make clear which National Language Support (NLS) packages can be used for a particular &xwp; release: An NLS package which has the same major and minor version numbers as the &xwp; base package can be used with that version.
This does not apply to developer releases. So if you have an odd minor number,
for example, with all V0.9.x releases, use only the NLS package with exactly the
same version number.
