Versioning

Besides a main update track and Version Ahead tracks (see Updating page), version numbers might give you a clue if you should update.

3.X.Y.Z

3 is the major version number and there are currently no plans to change it.

X is incremented on significant updates. It could be a new feature or underlying change that makes it significant. This will be incremented forever (so after 3.99, it will be 3.100...)

Y is incremented on smaller but relatively important fix or a small improvement. If 3.50.0 crashed, you may see if 3.50.1 is available. Right after an X release, any reported bug will be fixed and Y incremented before more users download or update. Daily or even hourly if time permits or update is important enough

Z is incremented with a small improvement or small insignificant bug-fix that doesn't affect many users. It might be even a few typos, language file update or a similar small change, or a user reported something, new version is packed so they can test it out. If only the last number changes there is no need to update

If you are a company it is best NOT to update to 3.X.0.0 as that update is an initial release of new features, and 3.X.1.0 will be more stable (additional fixes over the initial release)
