Oh my god, it took the developers longer than planned!

So 4.2.0 has been released on the 22.04.2020, 2 days later than innitially planned.

You'd better get used to it. It will happen again, you can be sure. 2 days is actually nothing when it comes to software development and delays.

Two days is very much accepted. :) (When writing the message I did not see anything referring to 4.2.)

What is the difference between change 4.x.y -> 4.x.y+1 and change 4.x.y -> 4.x+1.y? I see that 4.2 is available on the website but was not upgraded by ComfortUpdate (yet). Otherwise the changelog shows nothing big.

I am not a developer, that this is how I understand it:
4.2.0
A.B.C

C: this should be generally only bug fixes and minor stuff.
B: this could be smaller new features, etc.
A: Major release, there can be major changes that might "break" some things like plugins/themes, etc.

Yes, that is because we only recently have started to implemented the respective release schedule. Still learning! Next time will be better since we want to provide a certain window to users to merge fixes and features :)

LE: And holch summarized what you need to know about point releases :)
