History of Release Dates
From OHRRPGCE-Wiki
New official stable versions of the OHRRPGCE are released on a schedule determined by divination (or perhaps just when we feel like it). Each version is given a memorable code-name for reference. Sometimes bugfix versions (named with a +, for example xocolatl+2) are released for important bugfixes when the next version is too far away.
