Version numbering

Scope: managed applications, mobile applications, and ordinary applications.

1. The number of a product version is always incremented by 1. Usually, "version" means the dot-separated sequence of the major version followed by the minor version. For example, 1.5. The initial configuration version is always 1.0.

2. The initial revision—including alpha and beta revisions—always starts with 1 and is incremented by 1.

3. The full version number consists of the major version, minor version, revision, and build. The full version value is stored in the Version property. It is represented by a string of the following format:

MAJOR.MINOR. REVISION.BUILD

Each part of the sequence contains at least 1 digit:
MAJOR for major version number.
MINOR for minor version number.
REVISION for revision number.
BUILD for build number.

Example:

1.6.4.7 — major version 1, minor version 6, revision 4, and build 7.
