Software versions refer to the different iterations or updates of a software program. Each version typically includes improvements, bug fixes, or new features that enhance the user experience. Version numbers often follow a specific format, such as major.minor.patch, where changes in the major number indicate significant updates, while minor and patch numbers reflect smaller adjustments. When software is released, it may start with an initial version, often labeled as 1.0. Subsequent updates may be labeled 1.1, 1.2, and so on, indicating incremental changes. This system helps users identify the most current version and understand the evolution of the software over time.
