Is that intentional? Yes - all the filenames of the windows packages have been in this format since, well, almost forever: majorver.minorver.rel.buildno-packageno majorver.minorver.rel.buildno is a part of the build process and this version numbering system is embedded in each binary. '-packageno' is only a part of the packaging process. It is largely cosmetic, and makes it easier and quicker to distinguish the two packages. And, iirc, the installer will see the package number too so it will know to upgrade if the earlier package had already been installed. > Based on a bug reported in 2018 for Jaybird[1] with parsing version numbers > for a macOS build (2.5.8.27089-1), I expected the build to report itself as > 3.0.7.33374-1. I guess the mac builds have different rules.
