It's as if we almost could choose arbitrary numbers to brand anything we want in any way we want. What a wild concept.
Would be fun as fuck to se a dev release a version 0.00462, and then the next one be negative Pi or some shit, just for the giggles.
Well, most developers are internally consistent with how they do version numbers. Different developers often have different standards of how they do version numbering.
For example, here's a short list of several type of version numbering:
1: Version 120345 A simple increasing number, with each build incrementing the number by 1.
2: Version 0.12.123 What I described in the previous post, where the periods separate the individual parts of the number increment individually
3: Version 20240524 Literally just the date that the version is released in year month day format.
