 .SH Version number
 
-Right now the compiler uses versionnumbers like 0.99.12 and 0.99.13. After
-the 1.0 release this will change to 1.0 and 1.1. Both version naming types have
-in common that if the last number is even (0.99.12, 1.0), it is stable, and the last number odd
-is a dialy changing development version.(0.99.13, 1.1) just like the kernel.
-Fixes to releases will be named 0.99.12-x with x a number (e.g. 0.99.12-1)
+Starting with release 1.0, a new versioning system has been implemented. 
+If the last number is even (1.0, 1.0.2), it is stable, and if the last number is 
+odd it is a daily changing development version.(1.0.5, 1.1) just like the linux kernel.

 Version 0.99.5 however is a stable release. It was made before the even/odd version
 naming system was introduced.
