4.0 is in its alpha state. 4.0.0 is the first alpha release, and 4.0.1 the
second and so on. It is, IMO, essential to give every release its own
identifier, so that when a bug is reported you can say "that was fixed in
4.0.2" rather than "that was fixed in last thursdays release". However many
fields you have in your version number, the last must change for every
individual release, be it alpha, beta or full. Release numbers don't cost
money, so we can be prodigal with them if it aids clarity.
