New versions are released when they are ready. This is volunteer-driven software.

From https://developer.r-project.org/ : The overall release schedule is to have annual x.y.0 releases in Spring, with patch releases happening on an as-needed basis. It is intended to have a final patch release of the previous version shortly before the next major release.

Yes. We do have the oddity (see ?version) that 3 is the major version number and 2.0 is the minor version number including 0 as the patchlevel, but we still call it a major release when the number in the middle changes (e.g. 1 changed to 2 in the 3.2.0 release). It's a patch release when only the patchlevel changes. Duncan Murdoch

Done. (Of course, by the canonical definition of "major", Macintosh hasn't had one for their OS since 2001, so it's all a bit silly.) -p
