gnus version numbering

gnus version numbering

[Paul Mead]

How does the version numbering work, and what on Earth is 'No Gnus'?

The manuals seem to refer to different verions (the monolithic pdf to
No-Gnus v 0.11, and the illustrated pdf to Gnus v5.10). I appear to have
v 5.13. What is the latest version?

confused....

5.13 is the one in the Emacs repository which will be bundled with Emacs
23.  It's the most recent version you can get.  Basically it's more or
less the same than the HEAD version of Gnus' CVS (now don't ask me 'bout
its number. ;-))

Bye,

Thanks, these were useful, but they still seem to refer to 5.10 and I
apparently have 5.13. Is the current version information available
anywhere? I can't find it on the gnus website.

Thanks, Paul

No Gnus is the name of the current development version of Gnus. Previous
codenames include "Oort Gnus", "Pterodactyl Gnus", "Quassia Gnus", etc.

You can read more about it in the manual, or perhaps in a copy of the
manual available on www:

Don't worry, it is slightly complicated.

If I am not mistaken, then you can find an article by Reiner Steib
explaining the current thinking on the developement list somewhere; 
something like:
