Technically that is the minor version number. I.e., an OpenLDAP release 
number is major.minor.patch. In the 2.x releases we've had database format 
changes for each minor release thus far, but probably won't have any format 
changes in 2.4.

And actually, the format only changed between 2.2 and 2.3 for little-endian 
machines like Intel x86. On big-endian machines like Sparc, there was no 
change. Now we consistently use big-endian byte order everywhere.
