Given that the final number (build number) is constantly being raised, I fear there is really not much you can do. The “0.2” and “1.0” were originally planned for snapshots (0.2) vs. releases (1.0) but as you can see, we changed that over time.
The only robust option I see right now is a mapping table as you drafted in your initial mail already. You would have to touch that mapping with each new release :( … but hope is in sight, for future releases at least… will keep you updated. > On Feb 4, 2016, at 11:07 PM, Erik Weathers <eweath...@groupon.com.INVALID> > wrote: > > hey Till, thanks for the response!
