[Question] How to name file version?

[xtremee]

Hello All,

I try a lot to understand the system that companies/programmers give to there file(s) but I can't?!!

for example: What is the mean of v1.2.048? and when should I increment any number? also why they use three groups in naming?!!

Thanks very much

It is really really excellent.

Edit:

I can't understand this !!

Other software packages will pack each segment into a fixed bit width, for example, 5.8.7 could be represented in 24 bits: ( 5 << 16 | 8 << 8 | 7 ). The floating-point scheme will break down if any segment of the version number exceeds 1,000; a packed-binary scheme employing 8 bits apiece after 256.
