The version history of the Linux kernel is basically a result of how Linus felt about it at the time. It spent two years in 0.99.x and a long time in 2.x.
New versions come out all the time, but the pace and numbering has (at least up until more recently) been up to Linus. It feels like they're more settled into a regular pattern now, but early on it was basically just "when Linus feels like incrementing it".
