The version numbering is always built up using the same system:
X.Y[.Z][-preN]
X.Y[.Z]
Where
X is main version number
Y is release number
Z is patch number
N is pre-release number
One of these numbers will get bumped in each new release. The numbers to the
right of a bumped number will be reset to zero. If Z is zero, it may not be
included in the version number. The pre release number is only included in
pre releases (they're never used in public, official, releases).
