Intermediate releases will have - a minor revision number following a period. The current version - of Bugzilla, as of this writing (&bzg-date;) is &bz-ver;; if - something were seriously wrong with that edition of the Guide, - subsequent releases would receive an additional dotted-decimal - digit to indicate the update (&bzg-ver;.1, &bzg-ver;.2, etc.). - Got it?
