Normally, by standards, there is no 0.10 after 0.9. 0.9.x is usually the beta stage of a project, and the next version is 1.0 (full release).
That's not a standard, it's a misconception.
A software versioning standard widely-adopted is SemVer (semantic versioning), structured as follow:
x.y.z
x -> Major update, usually 0 for prerelease to 1+ for something stable
y -> Minor update
z -> patch
some letters can be added to denote release type, examples:
- 0.1a could be the first release, hence an alpha test
- 1.2b.3 could be a release of a patch (.3) for a beta version of 1.2
Reflecting this on AVNs:
Major updates are huge milestones (like a final release), something stable that you are ment to not change in a short time.
Minor updates are small milestone (like new features or new chapters), something new that adds value to major release.
Patches are small updates like bugfix (typo in text, variables not set, graphic glitches, etc), something that doesn't add value to any release, just some sort of correction.
In this case 0.10b just means that games is not final (major = 0), a new chapter or feature has been added (minor = 10) and that's a beta version (b); no bugfix released yet (patch = 0, implicit).
