+The version numbering is the same as GNOME:<br />
+A version number has the form X.Y.Z. "Y" is even for stable versions, and is
+odd for unstable versions. For example, the 2.2.0 version is stable, but 2.3.0
+is unstable. An unstable version can potentially have more bugs, and there are
+generally new features between two minor unstable versions (e.g. 2.3.0 -> 2.3.1).
+A new minor stable version (e.g. 2.2.0 -> 2.2.1) doesn't add new features, only
+new or updated translations and bug fixes.

-<h3>LaTeXila 3.0</h3>
-<p>
-I began LaTeXila as an independent application instead of a Gedit plugin mainly because of the lack of the profiles feature.
-See <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gedit-list/2011-January/msg00057.html";>this mail</a> for a more in-depth explanation.
-<br />
-Gedit will support profiles in the future as a way like it is explained in the mail.
-So when it'll be done, I consider transforming LaTeXila as a Gedit plugin.
-It'll be a big change in the code structure and also a big change for users (as a good enhancement), so the version will be 3.0.
