Hi TortoiseSVN Devs I noticed that the TSVN releases are announced on the website according to a different versioning scheme than i have in the download and also in Registry. On the website on the newest Version i have: 1.14.5 (Major.Minor.Patch?) On the download i get: 1.14.5.29465 (Major.Minor.Patch.Build?) yes, that's the build number. After installation in the Registry (DisplayVersion): 1.14.29465 (Major.Minor.Build?) you can thank msi for that. You see, while msi does have four-number versions, the fourth number is completely ignored. That would not be a problem if we only had the official releases. But we also have the nightly build where only the build number increases. And if we would use the same versioning scheme for msi that would mean msi would not detect that the nightly build has a higher version than the already installed one. So for the msi (and what you call registry) we use Major.Minor.Build because the Build (actually the svn revision number) always increases, and thus msi can properly detect newer versions and do an upgrade.
