The major number +is more relevant for the host software (the actual VirtualBox application) +than for the Linux Additions, which are developed more continuously. + +We sometimes have two stable versions at one time - one with more features and +a long-term stable version from the previous major release, which has less +features but a code base which has had longer to mature. While this is also +less relevant for the Additions, you can find the current long-term stable +release version number at + http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/LATEST-STABLE.TXT |
