Hey Neil, There was no 8, there was 8.0 and it was not a minor, it was the major release after 7.3. 8.1 was minor but still with new features + bug fixes etc. So no patch. 8.2 had 2 patches which were 8.2 patch 1 and 8.2 patch 2.
I don’t remember which other software does this but if patch means 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 Im more welcome because everyone should know about the versioning in Software. 10 is 10.0 but 10 is not 10.1 and not 10 patch 1. Maybe it could be 10.1 patch 1 or 10.1.1 if we are only talking About bug fixes. Will point a link to wiki, for versioning here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versionsnummer (german version). And Chrome also have this: 71.0.3578.98 So if we will have critical bug fixes for NB 10, it will be 10.0.1 IMHO. Cheers Chris Von: Neil C Smith Gesendet: Donnerstag, 24.

There *was* a reason! 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2 were hardly minor - the 8 just referred to Java 8. There was a discussion about moving away from sync with Java versions and just incrementing the number for every release (Firefox, Chrome, JDK style). That was the reason for dropping the zero, because 10.1 could also have just been NB10 patch 1. Now whether everyone is on the same page about that versioning scheme is another matter. Don't think you can answer this thread without being sure of that. Maybe a vote is required? Either seems fine to me, as long as we can all have the same answer to explain it when asked! ;-) Best wishes, Neil >
