I have been assuming that the numbering is:

x.y.z

x = major revision -- I do not expect to preside over one of these!
ASDF 2 was a major clean-up.  ASDF 3 added substantial improvements in
dependency tracking, etc.

y = change to API

z = patch release

This is what is enshrined in the ASDF versioning predicates, so I
figured I would stick with that.

Faré has always put a revision tag on everything, I suppose to make it
easier to identify where bugs appear and don't, etc.  So I have been
sticking with this standard practice by adding that extra .1.

I hope that helps.  Let me know if further clarification is needed.

Glad to hear things are working with CMUCL.  Which platform(s) did you test?

Best,
r
