This is a sandbox for ideas and other stuff that I'm working (or intend to) on ACL Policy Daemon, if you want to help here is a starting point.
Release system: 0.70 is the major release, and incremental releases like 0.71, 0.72 are minor releases with small improvements, bug fixes and stable. When we change to 0.80 means a new major release where the changes are somewhat big, and then the release of minor versions with improvements and bug fixes goes on.
