that's with the assumption that the smallest increment was used every time
I sometimes increment things by adding the next decimal place
note: I am not a developer, just a dude making tools at work. but I somehow always end up incrementing something now and then from 1.21 to 1.211 because I wanted to avoid the "1.21 new actually newest" situation and bumping to 1.22 didn't make sense. it's like temporary versioning for me, WIP files
so I actually use various different systems depending on my mood that day.
maybe I add a dash, maybe I use another decimal, maybe I use alpha characters.
none of it matters because they're wiped out a few hours later
Bothers me that you wouldn't go for 1.21.1 but you got the freedom to be WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG^[just teasing with this part of my reply :)] if you want.
I do that too sometimes lol but I'm just not a fan
if it were actual releases, yeah totally. but it's just temporary files
Sub version tags make sense but for the the love of pie if you're going to use a number at least separate it from the others, like
1.21-1= 0.21
;-)
Roffffl you're pure evil
