For XEmacs Release numbering, see
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/Public-21.2/numbering.html
Package numbering has to deviate from external package releases since
it counts XEmacs package releases, not external releases. We may fix
bugs locally, add features before external package is released, etc.
We do feed back changes to external maintainers, though!

http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/netinstaller.html

Try the [Prev], [Curr], and [Exp] buttons.
