The version and build number of this implementation. Version numbers for a release are of the form: w.x.y[-a]-z, where:
  • w - the major version number of the release. This number should start at 1. Typically, a bump in the major version number signifies that the release breaks backwards compatibility with some older release.
  • x - minor version number. This number starts at 0. A bump in the minor version number signifies a release that has significant new functionality.
  • y - minor-minor version number number. This number starts at 0. A bump in the minor-minor version number signifies that new bug fixes have been added to the build.
  • a - an optional build designator followed by a digit. Valid build designators are:
    • alpha
    • beta
  • z - build number. This is used to specify the build number of the release. This is usually only important to people that use the daily build of a project. The format is the lower-case letter 'b' followed by a two digit number.
