1 The release mechanism was changed in a way that minor updates
2 will not get a release tag in CVS, also the version number reported
3 by MLDonkey will stay the same.
5 Patches done after the last release are experimental,
6 please test carefully and report your results.
8 All numbers mentioned here can be found as patches on
