<p>PRRTE’s version numbers are the union of several different values:
major, minor, release, and an optional quantifier.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Major: The major number is the first integer in the version string
(e.g., v1.2.3). Changes in the major number typically indicate a
significant change in the code base and/or end-user
functionality. The major number is always included in the version
number.</p></li>
<li><p>Minor: The minor number is the second integer in the version
string (e.g., v1.2.3). Changes in the minor number typically
indicate a incremental change in the code base and/or end-user
functionality. The minor number is always included in the version
number:</p></li>
<li><p>Release: The release number is the third integer in the version
string (e.g., v1.2.3). Changes in the release number typically
indicate a bug fix in the code base and/or end-user
functionality.</p></li>
<li><p>Quantifier: PRRTE version numbers sometimes have an arbitrary
string affixed to the end of the version number. Common strings
include:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">aX</span></code>: Indicates an alpha release. X is an integer indicating
the number of the alpha release (e.g., v1.2.3a5 indicates the
5th alpha release of version 1.2.3).</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bX</span></code>: Indicates a beta release. X is an integer indicating
the number of the beta release (e.g., v1.2.3b3 indicates the 3rd
beta release of version 1.2.3).</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rcX</span></code>: Indicates a release candidate. X is an integer
indicating the number of the release candidate (e.g., v1.2.3rc4
indicates the 4th release candidate of version 1.2.3).</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Although the major, minor, and release values (and optional
quantifiers) are reported in PRRTE snapshot tarballs, the
filenames of these snapshot tarballs follow a slightly different
convention.</p>
<p>Specifically, the snapshot tarball filename contains three distinct
values:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Most recent Git tag name on the branch from which the tarball was
created.</p></li>
<li><p>An integer indicating how many Git commits have occurred since
that Git tag.</p></li>
<li><p>The Git hash of the tip of the branch.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>For example, a snapshot tarball filename of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">prrte-v1.0.2-57-gb9f1fd9.tar.bz2</span></code> indicates that this tarball was
created from the v1.0 branch, 57 Git commits after the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">v1.0.2</span></code> tag,
specifically at Git hash gb9f1fd9.</p>
<p>PRRTE’s Git master branch contains a single <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dev</span></code> tag. For example,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">prrte-dev-8-gf21c349.tar.bz2</span></code> represents a snapshot tarball created
from the master branch, 8 Git commits after the “dev” tag,
specifically at Git hash gf21c349.</p>
<p>The exact value of the “number of Git commits past a tag” integer is
fairly meaningless; its sole purpose is to provide an easy,
human-recognizable ordering for snapshot tarballs.</p>
