Radsam Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi, Is there a standard that developers use when setting version numbers? I often see a version number with the following format "#.#.#.#". Could someone explain how this is used or point me in the right direction. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpm Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 version.major.minor.build minor can be not so minor but not as high as major. that's the reason when we switch from 3.0.102 to 3.1.0 You can ignore the build number which is mainly use during beta phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
