I asked Lars about it.  He prefers to use (for the least significant
number in the version numbers): even numbers for releases and odd
numbers for CVS versions.

Lars also agreed that we should make new releases soon (i.e. Gnus
5.10.10 and No Gnus 0.8).  I will comment on this in a separate
thread.

Maybe going straight to 0.10 for No Gnus would be better as both least
significant numbers are the same then for trunk and v5-10.

So we'll have the following scheme from now on:

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Standalone | CVS     || No Gnus | CVS   | Date / notes                 |
| Gnus vers. | v5-10   ||         | trunk |                              |
| beta rel.  |         || devel   |       |                              |
|------------|---------||---------|-------|------------------------------|
|            | 5.10.8  ||         |       |                              |
|            |         || 0.6     |       | 2007-05-01                   |
|            | 5.10.8  ||         | 0.7   | today                        |
| 5.10.10    |         || 0.10    |       | soon after Emacs 22.1 = ASAP |
|            | 5.10.11 ||         | 0.11  |                              |
| 5.10.12    |         || 0.12    |       | with Emacs 22.2 or sooner    |
|            | 5.10.13 ||         | 0.13  |                              |
| 5.10.14    |         || 0.14    |       |                              |
|            | 5.10.15 ||         | 0.15  |                              |
