&gt;A &quot;dot release&quot; (who really cares about numbering schemes?)<p>DF numbers its releases differently than most software. The developers made a list of features (&quot;core components&quot;) they would like to implement and the version number increases for each one finished.<p>So a &quot;dot release&quot; for DF means a significant new subsystem was added. v0.42.1 translates to 42 core components implemented, 1 minor release. The leading 0 means &quot;less than 100 core components finished&quot;.
