Mambo Versioning

Mambo release versioning follows a numerical convention comprised of three numbers: Major, Minor and Maintenance. The version is presented in the major.minor[.maintenance] format. For example, 4.5.2 represents the major release of the number 4 branch, with the fifth minor release within that branch, and a second maintenance release.

Major Release Number (1.2.3)

This is the first numerical digit used in the version number. 

It is an increment of the major number and generally indicates a major rework or rewrite of the code base with additional new features.  A major release often breaks some backward compatibility.

Minor Release Number (1.2.3)

An increment of the minor number usually indicates a significant change in functionality. There is usually a moderate to high level of backward compatibility with previous minor increments.

Maintenance Release Number (1.2.3)

An increment of the maintenance number usually indicates bug fixing within the minor release or security improvements. Maintenance releases are usually fully backward compatible with previous maintenance increments and with the minor release.
