In all seriousness, is the Dev using the build date as the version number....? July 8th, 2023 at 12:34am - vYY.MM.DD-HH.mm

Unusual approach for sure as you have no clue if it is a major version change or minor bug fixes.

    Using the date as a version number for an application that gets frequent updates is very standard. Most users will be expected to be on the latest version always.

    There's even a website for it https://calver.org

    Thank you for the web link, TIL it is much more common than I was aware!

    Generally speaking, I find it easier and more intuitive to use. We use calver at work bc it seems pointless to identify if every week's release is major / minor / patch etc. My thought is the latest is the greatest - if something goes wrong, it'll be fixed in a later version ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใƒ„โ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ

    Interesting, I always found semantic versioning pretty useless, except for knowing that a new major release breaks existing APIs
