branches for past major/minor/maintenance releases and important features and bug fixes are often
back-ported to them.
=== Policy for Fix Version in JIRA
To determine if a given fix is in a given release purely from the release numbers following rules
are defined:
Fix version of X.Y.Z => fixed in all releases X.Y.Z' (where Z' = Z).
Fix version of X.Y.0 => fixed in all releases X.Y'.* (where Y' = Y).
Fix version of X.0.0 => fixed in all releases X'.\*.* (where X' = X).
By this policy, fix version of 1.3.0 implies 1.4.0, but 1.3.2 does not imply 1.4.0 as we could not
tell purely from the numbers which release came first.
