From 26b1a4d6db639ec7172416992f632819b36a19ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew David Wong Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2021 14:26:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Change "point relase" to "patch release" for precision In general, the software world is not clear about these terms. However, the most common usage seems to use "point release" to refer to any release with at least one period in the version number, which would also include minor releases. By contrast, "patch release," though a much less common phrase, unambiguously denotes a release with a version number containing two periods.
