Paulo, Thank you for the examples.
So if I go to download page and see 3.0.1, 3.1 and 3.2. The most stable version will be 3.1 because it includes the critical fixes in 3.0.1 and some additional bug fixes while doesn't have any new features introduced in 3.2. In that sense 3.0.1 becomes obsolete as soon as 3.1 comes out. To summarize, the most stable version should be x.Max(2n+1).z. Am I correct?
