No, not all software is numbered this way. Fortinet, Sonicwall, Cisco and many others do not use this limited scope. Mikrotik's version numbered 6.7 *should* be 6.07 or 6.0.7 to denote a minor revision. Likewise 6.17 should be 6.17 or 6.0.17. This also makes it hard for many file systems to sort them numerically as well. Without a leading zero in the minor releases this is needlessly confusing as different manufacturers may use endless point releases as retail upgrades. see: OSX- still on version "10" after 15 years.all software is numbered this way. linux kernel, MacOS etc.
these are not decimals
6 indicates major release 17 indicates minor version
There is no solution - it stays how it is. My post was simply to point out semantics in decimal numbers. As I said its not a hard concept to grasp so there is no point changing it.I get the confusion, but how to solve.
Let's assume the versions are written with leading 0 (6.07 -> 6.08 ---> 6.17)
What happens after 6.99???
How many leading 0 is enough?
Haha, love it.MacOS 10.9 and now 10.10. What to do now, everybody must be confused!
6.100I get the confusion, but how to solve.
