BOSS GNU/Linux Versioning

BOSS Versioning are done based on the kernel and major features added. The BOSS Release started from 1.0 and the subsequent release are numbered as 1.1, 1.2 etc which has the bugs of 1.0 resolved in them and finally the version is winded up with bug free Image. And thus the version 1.0 is freezed at 1.1 level.

Next version came up with 2.0, with its kernel upgraded and new features added. Unless it is freezed the version remains in the beta versioning. After the release of a particular version, its would be named as 2.0. And thus the subsequent release with bugs resolved in that particular version would be named as 2.1, 2.2 etc.
