The new numbering scheme is more flexible and allows you to do major and minor releases. This is useful when you want to do for example a bug fix release. The new version number will consist of N integers separated by dots (e.g. 1, 1.2, 1.4.5, 2.5.7.4). You can still use an integer number only for your releases. | The new numbering scheme is more flexible and allows you to do major and minor releases.

There is as well the ability to use a suffix for a local indicator (e.g. Peru wants to release a slightly modified version for their deployment 1.3-peru). The local indicator is a string, appended to the version. The local indicator does not apply alpha ordering, which means that 1.3-peru is equal to 1.3-argentina. | There is as well the ability to use a suffix for a local indicator (e.g., Peru wants to release a slightly modified version for their deployment 1.3-peru).
