Development Environment Testing

This software is for testing purposes only. Please do not use this code on a live website. Please report any bugs in the XenForo resources thread or in the forums of the Tux Reports plugin website. This will allow me to update and stabilize the code.

Version Numbering

There are numerous means to version software. XenWord uses a four place, decimal demarcation method. The first number is the major version number. The second number describes the number of new features added since the major release. The third place is for distinguishing minor code changes. The last digits express the status of the code: alpha (1), beta (2-9), release candidate (10-99) and stable (100).
