New Naming and Versioning
Due to the way the way versioning is changing in the source code Waterfox is based on and the new release channels Waterfox has, it makes sense to switch to a new scheme.
As such, this release from 56.2.14 and 68.0b1 respectively will follow the date versioning system of YY.MM.X where:
YYYY = Digits of year of release
MM = Two digits of the month of release
X = Hotfix
There are also two versions of Waterfox to choose from. One focused on a legacy branch maintaining security and bug fixes and another branch focusing on keeping up to date with the modern web and a fully customisable web browser to go with it. The branches will be named as follows:
Waterfox Classic YYYY.MM.X
This branch is the legacy branch. There are no plans to retire this branch, and is going to be actively maintainted, the same as current.
Waterfox Current YYYY.MM.X
This branch is the modern, feature updated branch.
