Well, I tried to use the octave core scheme. I use odd numbers (2.1.50-2.1.55) 
to add new features / make important changes. When I reached my goals, I 
release a package with an even number (2.2.0). It is followed by minor revision 
(2.2.1 - 2.2.5) for bugfixes and small additions. I am going to release 2.3.5* 
versions until my features for 2.4.0 are ready:
- model and controller reduction (done)
- clean up oct-files (done)
- "multiplot" feature
- system identification

There was a 2.1.5* release about every fortnight for people who wanted the 
latest features as soon as they became ready. Those who didn't want to install 
weekly updates could wait for 2.2.0. In general, there's no difference in 
quality between even and odd versions.

Do you think it is confusing? Shall I do it differently?

Regards,
Lukas
