That's only a minor bump, according to major.minor.micro:
major bump => substantial rewrite
minor bump => new features, new code and new bugs
micro bump => regressions and bugs fixed
This is the scheme I believe most people recognize, and that suggests
to me that 2.4.0 would be the next logical release number?
You do make a good point. It is better to advance the minor number
(rather than continually increase the micro number) if significant new
features have been added. However, the objectives should be met (e.g.
really able to build adequately with MSVC) before we bump to 2.4.
This should not discourage including 99% of the necessary updates in
another 2.2 release.
