We release versions of the Fluid Infusion framework and components on a regular basis. For more information about the contents of each release, check out the Fluid Community Roadmaps.

Release Version Number
Each release has a unique version number associated with it, e.g. "0.1" or "0.3beta1". This version number must be recorded consistently in a few locations:
- git tags (historically SVN tags)
- Wiki pages and other documentation
- The project
pom.xmlandproject.xmlfiles - The perma-comment at the top of the Fluid.js file
- The Infusion source code (each .js file - this is not modified for point releases such as 1.3.1)
- The ImageGallery
web/pom.xmlfile, which has a dependency on Infusion (see Tagging the Source Code for instructions) - The
antbuild scripts properties file,build-scripts/build.properties
