Yes good to highlight that. Most of us are on 2020.10 or 2020.12 by now.


Those version numbers look way too similar to dates!!


What (user) invisible said. year.week or year.week.patch if there has been a patch. And there's a build number after that. We're on 4fbcc4b942a8, probably the prefix of a git hash I'm guessing. But then there's kind of a marketing version number as well, for which we are currently on v10.0 or v10. something:

Those versions are more like the true major release versions, whereas the date versions are inside of that and are minor releases.


Thanks all, but I wasn't asking for help parsing it, rather critiquing it as a poor version formatting choice bc of its ambiguity.


Yes that’s a valid critique, and one I agree with. I added my comment more as an elaboration for anyone else interested in more.


They are in this format: Year.Week.Patch


It seems to generally follow the format of Year.Version.Patch.
