+Versioning:
+===========
+
+U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
+sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
+sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
+
+The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
+between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
+U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".
