Ok here i will quickly explain, no long paragraphs nothing.
Here is all what you need to know, let us take an example of version 1.0.0.0
The version number 1.0.0.0 follows a versioning format, typically referred to as Semantic Versioning or a variant of it. The four numbers usually represent different levels of changes or releases:
Major Version (1):
The first number indicates a major version. Incrementing this number generally means that there have been significant changes that may not be backward-compatible. For example, new features that break the existing API or functionality.
Minor Version (0):
The second number represents a minor version. This usually means new features have been added that are backward-compatible. It’s an incremental update that doesn’t break existing functionality.
Patch Version (0):
The third number is for patch versions. These are small changes or bug fixes that don’t affect the API or add any new features. They are backward-compatible improvements or fixes.
Build or Revision Number (0):
The fourth number, sometimes referred to as the build or revision number, is less commonly used in Semantic Versioning but is often included in some versioning schemes (especially in software like Windows). It typically represents builds, revisions, or very minor changes that don’t affect the software’s functionality, like metadata or configuration changes.
Example Interpretation of 1.0.0.0:
1: This is the first major release of the software.0: No new minor features have been added since the major release.0: No patches or bug fixes have been applied.0: This might indicate the first build or initial release with no further revisions.
When to Use Each Segment:
1.x.x.x: Increment the first digit for major changes.x.1.x.x: Increment the second digit for adding new features.x.x.1.x: Increment the third digit for bug fixes.x.x.x.1: Increment the fourth digit for builds or non-functional changes.
Wow congratulations !!! You have grabbed the concept of Semantic Versioning
