[Taler] Taler releases

[Slack Coder]

Hi all,

How should third parties know when to bump Taler releases?  The current 
situation is a little confusing.  The git repository has the v0.11 
releases on it -and- debian packages on a new install are bumped to 
v0.11.  The source tarballs are not available on ftpmirror.gnu.org, and 
the Taler wallet on f-droid is on v0.10.

Somewhat related, will Taler wallets be forward/backward compatible to 
some degree between releases?

Thanks!
