Yes.  We do have the oddity (see ?version) that 3 is the major version
number and 2.0 is the minor version number including 0 as the
patchlevel, but we still call it a major release when the number in the
middle changes (e.g. 1 changed to 2 in the 3.2.0 release).  It's a patch
release when only the patchlevel changes.
