OK the reason they did a bunch of mini releases was to take care of minor issues with certain customers. Nothing Major
Most of these except for the template thing you would never notice since you run threads. There were alot of new things like signature and avatar support added and group moderation.
The release notice said these features were only avaiable to threads and VB3 customers. Other customers freaked and did not want to wait. So they were added in. Thus you saw the many mini revisions. Most of which never would effect you.
