A quick blurb about the release version numbers use:

The version numbers used for the snapshots indicate whether a release is a tested and stable release, or an unstable development release. A version where the last number is a 0 indicates a stable release. Versions ending in anything other than 0 are unstable.

For example, 1.0.0 is stable, 1.0.1 is a development snapshot/release.

Stable versions require a more extensive validation pass to be executed and will not be made available as frequently as the development snapshots.

Only fully tested and verified drivers should be used and deployed by end users. The development and unstable snapshots are intended only for development and testing. For more information, please see this notice.
