# What do the release code names stand for?
Each release has a version number that's strictly monotonic increasing. In addition to that all releases starting from v0.9.5 has a unique code name -- a single word (e.g. "Butterfly") or a short phrase (e.g. "Watcher of the skies"). People are wondering what's up with those code names.
Those code names are actually names of songs, to be more precise: songs that I currently like when I'm preparing the release. They're from a diverse range artists and bands, but I'm mostly into Progressive Rock, vocal pop/Jazz music (both choirs and ensembles), Funk, Jazz and Singer/Songwriter.
There's also a [list of all the releases](https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/releases.xml.gz) including their code names and the artist performing those songs available online as an XML document. You can find the artist and the songs as the attributes `codename-artist` and `codename` to the `release` element.
