Hi Everyone,

We currently use "Major.Minor.Patch" numbering scheme, like Crypto++ 5.6.5. 
I'd like to switch to just "Major.Minor". There are several reasons for it, 
but the two main ones are:

1. we all our releases are either major or minor releases with respect to 
ABI compatibility. In fact, we misapplied ABI criteria and released 
Crypto++ 5.6.3, 5.6.4 and 5.5.6 when we should have released 5.7 and 6.0.

2. we can leave the third octet - Patch - for distros. Distros can us it 
internally for testing. For example, If a distro builds current master, 
they can name it Crypto++ 6.0.0. If they report back with a bug and we fix 
it, their next test can use the name Crypto++ 6.0.1.

I'm going to ping Debian and see what they have to say.

Are there any objections to a change using "Major.Minor" only?

Jeff
