Change Lazarus version numbering

[paweld]

Beginning with the next version (3), each release will change the major version (excluding fixes versions)?

I also was wondering why my latest Lazarus trunk jumped from 2.xx to 3.99

This comment is inside docs\xml\lazutils\lazversion.xml :

Please note that version numbers used for Lazarus, and the LCL and LazUtils
libraries were changed starting with version 3.0. The release part of the
version number is no longer used. Only the major and minor values are
significant. The release number will always be 0 (zero) starting with version
3.0.

In addition, an odd minor version numbers no longer indicate that it is a
development (or trunk) version. Instead, odd minor version numbers like 3.1 or
3.3 represent a fixes branch. For example: 3.1 would contain bug fixes for the
3.0 branch and would be used as the basis for the first 3.2 release.
Development (or trunk) versions are always represented as minor version number
99; i.e. 3.99 is the development branch for the version 3.X family.
