Ok, had a question, found an answer by googling, was going to save this as a 
draft and maybe put a copy on askRhk, but I decided to post it to the list in 
case it helps anyone else.

My puzzlement and the answer (afaict):  I started to see version numbers for 
KDE apps very different from what I am used to.  I found out that (at least 
apparently) KDE has changed their version numbering scheme.  (It now looks 
like (at least to me, at a quick glance) like the version numbers used by 
(K)ubuntu but I'm not sure whether the scheme is the same or not -- I'd tend 
to bet that it is.  I guess I've resolved my puzzlement.

about version numbers]]
`
To my limited knowledge the Kdenlive developers adopted a new versioning 
scheme when they ported Kdenlive to the recent KDE Framework 5 (KF5). They are 
following the versioning scheme adopted by the KDE Project, in particular, 
YY.MM.p. YY is the year of the release. MM the month. Typically, there are 
only few major releases, two this year so far: 15.04 in April, 15.08 in 
August. These releases should being follow the KF5 releases, as Kdenlive is 
now part of the KDE 5 Applications. The third number p then indicates the 
patchlevel releases, that is, bug fix releases that happen from time to tome in 
between the larger KDE Applications releases.

My attempt at drafting the question:

I am puzzled by the version number.  (I think I asked a similar question 
before but, unless I missed something, I got no response.)

Some data points (or not):

   * In my mind, 19.08 looks like a (K)Ubuntu version number

   * The most recent version of Debian that I actually use is Jessie, my daily 
user is Wheezy (I know), but in which konsole is:

<quote>
Version 2.8.4
Using KDE Development Platform 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
</quote>

On Jessie, it is 2.14.2 on 4.14.2

Have the KDE numbers really jumped to something like 19.08?

(I looked up the bug listed in the previous email in this thread (the one to 
which I am replying) which was: 

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=935031

There, I see:
Found in version konsole/4:19.08.0-1
