I have another recommendation
4 digits separated by dots like this
2.3.C.23
what does this mean?
2 = major version
3 = minor version
C = Candidate Release (Final) (other options A=Alpha, B=Beta)
23= Build number
so this number is indentifying:
We are building towards the candidate release of version 2.3, and we have
done 23 builds already.
If we have nightly builds the last number will increase.
if anyone thinks this is a good idea, just let me know and I can give more
details how this can work very well.
