Version

A specific release of a software product. Version numbers are typically assigned in ascending order, thus the higher the number, the newer the software. A minor revision of the program is often represented in the version number as a decimal, whilst different builds are separated by a further decimal point; i.e.:

Major revision. Minor revision. Build

For example, Firefox 1.0.7.
