+% I'm not that strict with incrementing numbers, but let's occasionally bump
+% the number. Once we're stable it might happen more systematically. For sure
+% I don't want to end up with these redicoulous 0.99999999 kind of numbers.
+%
+% We started with 2.00.0 and kept that number till November 2019, after Alan
+% Braslau and I did the initial beta release at April 1, 2019. After more than
+% a year working on the code base after the \CONTEXT\ 2019 meeting a state was
+% reached where nothing fundamental got added for a while. When \LUATEX\ needs
+% a patch, I check the \LUAMETATEX\ code base as the same patch might be needed
+% there. On the other hand, we don't need a strict compatibility, so some
+% patched in \LUATEX\ are not applied here.
+%
+% In November 2019 I started wondering if we should bump the number, just for
+% the sake of showing that there's still some progress. So I decided to bump to
+% 2.01.0 then. Just as a reminder for myself: it was the day when I watched
+% Jacob Collier perform Lua (feat. MARO) live on YouTube (of course that is not
+% about the language at all, but still a nice coincidence).
