This bumps the release number of 2.0.0, to reflect the switch to
a new time based release versioning scheme. The downloads page
is updated to describe our policies for release schedules and
release version numbering
The stable release docs are changed to reflect the fact that
the stable version numbers are now just 3 digits long instead
of 4.

+ <p>
+ Libvirt follows a time based plan, with releases made once a month
+ on the 1st of each month give or take a few days. The only exception
+ is at the start of the year where there are two 6 weeks gaps, giving
+ a total of 11 releases a year. Expect to see releases on approx:

+ <h2><a name="numbering">Release numbering</a></h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Since libvirt 2.0.0, a time based version numbering rule
+ is applied. As such, the changes in version number have
+ do not have any implications wrt the scope of features
+ or bugfixes included, the stability of the code, or the
+ API / ABI compatibility (libvirt API / ABI is guaranteed
+ stable forever). The rules applied for changing the libvirt
+ version number are:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>major</code> - incremented by 1 for the first release
of the year (the Jan 15th release)</li>
+ <li><code>minor</code> - incremented by 1 for each monthly
release from git master</li>
+ <li><code>micro</code> - always 0 for releases from git master,
incremented by 1 for each stable maintenance release</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ Prior to to 2.0.0 the major/minor numbers were incremented
+ fairly arbitrarily, and maintenance releases appended a
+ fourth digit.
+ </p>
+
<h2><a name="maintenance">Maintenance
releases</a></h2>
<p>
In the git repository are several stable maintenance branches,
matching the
- pattern
<code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i>-maint</code>;
+ pattern
<code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>-maint</code>;
these branches are forked off the corresponding

formal
release, and may have further releases of the
- form
<code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i>.<i>rel</i></code>.
+ form
<code>v<i>major</i>.<i>minor</i>.<i>micro</i></code>.
These maintenance branches should only contain bug fixes, and no
new features, backported from the master branch, and are
supported as long as at least one downstream distribution
expresses interest in a given branch. These maintenance
- branches are considered during CVE analysis.

+ are made whenever there is a need to make available key
+ bugfixes to downstream consumers.
