    So with most stuff there are 3 decimals i.e. 4.7.0.109

    and 3rd party apps do it too.. whats the significance of each section I guess you would call them..

    Just something that popped in my head

    W.X.Y.Z

    W=
    X=
    Y=
    Z=

    I believe the 4.7 represents which OS we're running. And the 0.109 represents the version that OS is at.

    It is just a Release Management naming convention.

    With everyone it's different. You can name it 1 if you wanted to

    This is how I do things
    1.2.3

    The first number is the main version number. That usually only changes with a major update

    The second and third numbers are my changes. If I work on an app that starts out as 1.2.3 and I make 5 changes I will name it 1.2.8

    That's how I do things personally, but like I said everyone has their own uniqueness.

    Version is like the 4.7 in our storms. build is like .109, or .86, or .75, or .113, or any of the other builds out there.

    A build is an actual compilation of the code into executable file(s) which is then ran/tested in some way. You can have many many builds for each version.

    W+X= OS Version (i.e. 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, or 5.0)
    Y= OS Subversion (i.e. .0 or .1)
    Z= Build Version. (i.e. .x-.xxx)

    Simple.

    Generally, the Version is the goal that contains the overall list of features and bug fixes that will released that is usually defined by the Product/Marketing folks. In software development, the team will divide the features and bug fixes into manageable portions. Developers work on a set of portions and product a Build. That Build is then tested and evaluated for the set of items that where worked on. And repeat.

    When it is determined that enough features and bug fixes have been complete and all the testing is consider complete, it is released to the "Public". With all those values, it allows the development team to go back and recreate a specific build from the source code to make fixes.
