New versions

When is the next version of Spam{{`Assassin going to be released? Spam}}`Assassin is an Open-Source project, created by team of volunteer programmers. The exact schedule depends on a number of factors and is hard to predict. The following is the current status. If you are keen to see pre-release versions, keep in mind that WeLoveVolunteers, and there's lots of DevelopmentStuff.

• Version 3.0.5: Unlikely
  
• Version 3.1.1: Soon, but no firm date yet
  
• Version 3.2.0: Far off
  

How are versions numbered?

Versions are denoted using a standard triplet of integers: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The basic intent is that MAJOR versions are incompatible, large-scale upgrades of the API. MINOR versions retain source and binary compatibility with older minor versions, and changes in the PATCH level are perfectly compatible, forwards and backwards.

• The major version number increments upon significant architectural changes or the achievement of important milestones in capabilities. The minor/mode version number increments as progress is made within a major version.
  
• The patchlevel number increments for small sets of changes, providing the most fine-grain timeline of software evolution. Patchlevels increment regularly for internal/development(odd minor level) work, but only increment for external releases when an official update to the previous release version has been tested and packaged.
  

When a version is almost ready to be released, it is called a "release candidate," (RC), so the version will be numbered something like, "3.0.0rc3." Generally a final version is released within a few weeks of the RC versions.
