Difference between Full Releases and Plus Releases

• Full Release are only to be done if there are big feature improvements. The change of the version indicates to people that there is something new - regarding to security fixes even there something very important has changed.
• Plus Releases have been introduced to satisfy the need for quick releases, mostly to quickly release language updates and small bug-fixes. For future versions Plus Releases will be even more important as distributions like Linux Ubuntu do require a stable main version number - only the build/minor number may be changed to update the software during one release cycle of the distribution.
