But "minor version" and "major version" are readily understandable to the general reader, e.g. me, whereas "feature release" and "release series" I find are not. Couldn't the first two terms be defined once and then used throughout?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Please avoid using the terms "minor version" and "major version", they<br>

Indeed. "Feature release" (2.7, 3.2, 3.3) and "release series" (2.x,<br>
3.x) are the least confusing terms we have available.<br>

I minimally edited what was already there to correct what is now an error. The change comes immediately after a section defining major, minor, and micro releases. To change terms,<br>
