Numbering Error?

[Beardo]

I just noticed this - On this forum, we use vBulletin. Now if you look here...:
Latest version available: 4.1.10. You are currently running vBulletin version 4.1.5.

Isn't the latest version supposed to be 4.1.6 or if they're going in .5 increments, then 4.1.2? Because if it were to be 4.1.10, then it should have been 4.1.5.

Am I making sense? :skeleton:

Or is this not the normal decimal system that they are using?

This is way too complicated for me. My brain is gonna explode and it will be your fault. <_<

You're thinking of it like a decimal number (which they sometimes are), but this way is ok to use too.

Um. Yes?

By the way, just went to your blog, Beardo. Cool design.

Why don't you ask people behind vBulletin? they have their own reason to numbering their products like that.

No, it is not the decimal system. The numbering in software versioning is done independently of the periods (.), now if we look at the latest version available, 4.1.10. The '10' is the build or revision number which usually includes some bugfixes, the '1' is the minor version number which includes new features, and '4' is the major number and when this changes we all know what happens...:p
