[libvirt] [PATCH v2] Bump release to 2.0.0 and document release schedule & versioning

Tue Jun 14 08:56:00 UTC 2016
This bumps the release number of 2.0.0, to reflect the switch to
a new time based release versioning scheme. The downloads page
is updated to describe our policies for release schedules and
release version numbering
The stable release docs are changed to reflect the fact that
the stable version numbers are now just 3 digits long instead
of 4.

+ <h2><a name="schedule">Primary release schedule</a></h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Libvirt follows a time based plan, with releases made once a month
+ on the 1st of each month give or take a few days. The only exception
+ is at the start of the year where there are two 6 weeks gaps (first
+ release in the middle of Jan, then skip the Feb release), giving
+ a total of 11 releases a year.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2><a name="numbering">Release numbering</a></h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Since libvirt 2.0.0, a time based version numbering rule
+ is applied. As such, the changes in version number have
+ do not have any implications with respect to the scope of
+ features or bugfixes included, the stability of the code,
+ or the API / ABI compatibility (libvirt API / ABI is guaranteed
+ stable forever). The rules applied for changing the libvirt
+ version number are:
+ </p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt>major</dt>
+ <dd>incremented by 1 for the first release of the year (the
+ Jan 15th release)</dd>
+ <dt>minor</dt>
+ <dd>incremented by 1 for each monthly release from git master</dd>
+ <dt>micro</dt>
+ <dd>always 0 for releases from git master, incremented by 1
+ for each stable maintenance release</dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>
+ Prior to 2.0.0, the major/minor numbers were incremented
+ fairly arbitrarily, and maintenance releases appended a
+ fourth digit.
+ </p>
+
<h2><a name="maintenance">Maintenance releases</a></h2>
<p>
In the git repository are several stable maintenance branches,
matching the
- pattern <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i>-maint</code>;
+ pattern <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>-maint</code>;
these branches are forked off the corresponding
- <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i></code> formal
+ <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.0</code> formal
release, and may have further releases of the
- form <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i>.<i>rel</i></code>.
+ form <code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i></code>.
These maintenance branches should only contain bug fixes, and no
new features, backported from the master branch, and are
supported as long as at least one downstream distribution
expresses interest in a given branch. These maintenance
- branches are considered during CVE analysis.
+ branches are considered during CVE analysis. In contrast
+ to the primary releases which are made once a month, there
+ is no formal schedule for the maintenance releases, which
+ are made whenever there is a need to make available key
+ bugfixes to downstream consumers.
