The release identifier for this package is in the file VERSION and has the
following form:

where:

    <major>     Is the major release-number (e.g., 6).  Changes to this
                component indicate a major departure from previous releases
                (such as a change to the LDM protocol).  Such changes are
                often not compatible with previous releases.

    <minor>     Is the minor release-number (e.g., 1).  Changes to this

                same major release-number.

    <rev>       Is the revision-level (e.g., 0).  Changes to this component
                indicate bug-fixes and/or performance improvments that are
                functionally compatible with previous releases having the
                same major and minor release-numbers.
