Hi, as suggested by Sebastian, maybe the next stable version with security fixes should be named 2.9.0.1.
Is it too late, now that 2.9.1-rc1 has been released? I think it would be better to name it 2.9.0.1.

Is the intention to distinguish between non-critical and critical bug fixes by using the 3rd versus 4th version field? (I have no preference. I'm just looking for clarification on how to interpret the resulting version number.)

a.b.c.d
increase in d has smallest changes. used mainly for security or urgent fixes - make it easy for admins to update, by keep the changelog as small as possible
increase in c is a mature bugfix release, possible with noticeable changes
increase in b introduces new features and behaviors

No, the 4th means a quick fix. The 3rd means a bunch of fixes. In this case it's more a quick fix, it's just that I needed a release candidate but 2.9.0.1-rc1 seemed too weird, but I should have released it as 2.9.0.1-rc1 anyway.
