This manpage is meant for quick\-reference only. FPC comes with a great (600+ pages)
manual, which is updated constantly, while this man page can be out of date.
.SH Version number
Right now the compiler uses versionnumbers like 0.99.12 and 0.99.13. After
the 1.0 release this will change to 1.0 and 1.1. Both version naming types have
in common that if the last number is even (0.99.12, 1.0), it is stable, and the last number odd
is a dialy changing development version.(0.99.13, 1.1) just like the kernel.
Fixes to releases will be named 0.99.12-x with x a number (e.g. 0.99.12-1)
Starting with release 1.0, a new versioning system has been implemented.
If the last number is even (1.0, 1.0.2), it is stable, and if the last number is
odd it is a daily changing development version.(1.0.5, 1.1) just like the linux kernel.

Version 0.99.5 however is a stable release. It was made before the even/odd version
naming system was introduced.
