 Bugfixes

 Other
    * Trackers now allow anononymous submissions
        https://gna.org/projects/clive

    * Added clive-users mailing list (General questions and discussion)
        https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clive-users

        At the moment anything clive related can be discussed here including
        development related issues. clive-dev is likely to be added later.

    * Release branches are now used in the development
        svn://svn.gna.org/svn/clive/branches
        svn://svn.gna.org/svn/clive/trunk
        svn://svn.gna.org/svn/clive/tags

    * Release numbering is no longer as ad hoc as before
        Starting with this release, the project follows the following
        release numbering strategy:

        major.minor.micro

        major = Expected to have new features or entire feature sets
        marks compatibility boundaries - may be forward/backward incompatible

        minor = New features, usually only few at once
        must be backward compatible, not necessarily forward compatible
                                
        micro = Bug fixes only or minor enhancements to existing features
        must be forward/backward compatible, no new features
