I've always read it to be brand:major:minor, as the "5" signifies the upgrade from "2", using many lessons learned, and is a play on the number 25, which was in the original slogan (TWenty 5 - A remake for the next 25 years). The middle number is major changes to the internal javascript code, such as a major rewrite of boot.js, which might break certain things like Bob and TiddlyServer (tools which depend on the internal workings of TiddlyWiki), and the last number is the number that tells us which bugs we might be dealing with and which macros and features are available. We don't really do patch, but we also don't really do breaking minor changes. All 5.1.x wikitext will always work on 5.1.x, and might work on 5.2.x as well, since breaking changes are rarely introduced into the parser.
That's how it's seemed to work from my observation.
