Even last numbers are meant for releases. Those don't change.

Odd even last number means development version, i.e. there is not one
set of file that can be labeled 0.9.29 or 0.9.31. 0.9.29 is a
development version too.

It says fixes branch that currently contains 0.9.29. The actual name
of the branch is fixes_0_9_30, because after the release of 0.9.30
from this branch, it will contain fixes for the 0.9.30 release.

fixes_0_9_30.

what svn branch? Anyway, no branch will contain 0.9.30.

I cannot remember that.

I guess that is what this page is about:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Version_Numbering

This page may help too:
