version

---

A particular issue or release of a hardware or software product. Version numbers are generally represented by an integer (a whole number) combined with a decimal number (for example 3.2). Successive releases of a program are assigned increasingly higher numbers. Major releases are reflected with whole number increments; minor releases with decimal increments.
When discussing software versions, an "x" is often used after the version integer to designate a range of minor releases. For example, Internet Explorer 4.x refers to all minor releases of Internet Explorer 4.
