What's the deal with these versions - is the 0.28.0 release approaching?

[zyli]

I'm compiling 0ad on Debian ('svn update' commands, etc.).

The version hasn't changed for a while now (October 18th?).

I see:

release-0.28.0, 981b3

 

According to '0ad/trunk/build/build_version/build_version.txt': 

Quote

L"release-0.28.0, 981b3b898e"

Similarly, in '~/.local/state/0ad/log/userreport_hwdetect.txt'.

However, on the website https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad, there are new commits almost daily (last one: cb58116270).

I also found this:
https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/src/branch/release-0.28.0

Hence my questions:
Does this mean that version 0.28.0 will be released soon?
But the numbering was supposed to be different – 28.0?
