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