release are likely to occur after the next major release has

109

should chose one and document it.

Depending on whether you're doing a beta or a bugfix release, you'll

108

109

110

(look what have been done for the various 2.0x and 2.1.0bx releases).

The rule is to keep the sections sorted by date. You'll need to be

112
