Version number A version number has three numbers plus a tag and some other information : _<a>.<b>.<c> <tag> <date+time> <tree hash>_ _<a>_ : Major version _<b>_ : Evolution _<c>_ : Revision (bugfixes) _<tag>_ : alpha | beta<num> beta | <nothing> _<date+time>_ : Date and time of the built tree, for example : _2009-08-01 17:42Z_. See "ISO8601":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 _<tree hash>_ : The hash of the built tree, for example : "b53118220bb28abf649df43fc144cc21919b512e":http://git.euphorik.ch/index.cgi?p=aybabtu.git;a=tree;h=b53118220bb28abf649df43fc144cc21919b512e For example (date, time and hash are omitted) : * _1.0 alpha_ (first version) * _1.0 beta1_ * _1.0 beta2_ * _1.0 beta3_ beta_ * *_1.0_* (stable version) * _1.0.1_ (first revision) * _1.0.2_ (second revision) * _1.1 alpha_ (first evolution) * _1.1 beta_ * *_1.1_* * _1.1.1_ * etc.. h3.
