Oh thank you.
To sum up the "Versioning and Numbering of Open-Xchange Products", I would say the following:

There are two different generations of OX Products:
Hymalia and Hyperion

Hymalia:
Open-Xchange 0.8.x -> Community Edition
CE ist the base for Open-Xchange Server 5
Technique: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (UserInterface) and PostgreSQL (Database)

Hyperion:
Open-Xchange Express, Open-Xchange Hosting Edition and Community Edition (no version number)
Technique: AJAX (UserInterface) and MySQL (Database)

Main difference between Hymalia and Hyperion:

• Different backends and user interface
• different APIs
• different code

However I still do not understand what the OX Hosting Edition is for?

It's mainly interesting for for hosters and system integrators.

Hi,

some differences at the hosting edition:
* is able to work in a cluster of n OX application servers
* is able to manage n contexts where one context can be a domain. This enables a hosting provider to offer a unlimited amount of user environments based on one or more OX servers. usera@contexta lives together with userb@contexta but cannot see anything of usera@contextb even if they're on the same machine/database
* better monitoring
* and so on
