Possibly because that's what happens to Open Source projects when 
multiple people decide to build updates to the source code without 
communicating with those that went before them?

Maybe the versions forked at 3.00.1.19, or maybe the version numbering 
through to 3.02.1.24 didn't get recorded as well as it might?

You would have to diff the sources for the two versions to work it out, I 
suspect.
