correct?
yes, but originally the next version after 2.10 was going to be 2.50. Patchou decided that number because that version (2.50) would contain a lot of new features. Then Micorsoft released messenger 6, and Patchou made 2.20 because he wanted Plus! to be compatible with msg 6 but didn't make all those new features.

The last weeks, Patchou have been working a lot in the new version of plus! He added a lot of new features and corrected a several bugs, so the new version is more than a 2.30 version. That version will be 2.50 and will be released on 28th.

Now you can ask: and why not version 3 if patchou added all those new features? Well, I think a version 3 is much more than adding new features. The next version (2.50) will have the same (well, similar) interface as the current one (2.21). Also it'll use the same ways to hook messenger, the same "internal engine". A major number change (from 2.x to 3) should be done (in my opinion) when things related to internal structure of Plus! change.
