There is an entry in the faq about this, but:

Before 1.0: All kinds of mechanisms. Even with letters postfixed. (0.99.14c)

Starting with 1.0: Like linux.

First number : major version.
second number: odd if development, even if release (stable) branch.
third number : sequence number of the release in this branch.


So 1.1  -> working title for the development that will lead to 1.2.x series.
1.0.x  -> releases for the "production" versions. Mostly bugfixes from
version to version, and compability enhancements.
