Balaji -

I'm a bit confused by your comment.  I have proposed putting a date in the
version.  The date of the release would be come the bugfix level.

So if I were to release something today it would become:

1.0.20160217

If I were to release a minor release based tomorrow the version would be:

1.1.20160218

If I were to release a bug fix to the minor release in 2 days:

1.1.20160219
