Explanation of version numbers in README.md #12

They seem totally mixed. Version 1024.12 is newer than 1036.7 though the version number is less. Which one should I use? I could find no explanation. Please add an explanation to README.md.

I know it's quite confusing. Yesterday 1136.7 was released and just now I got a bintray alert saying 1136.6 was released. I think some of them are builds for different branches for different Intellij releases but having some explanation of this would be very helpful.

The main idea is to have a sequence of the builds in the master branch and then create stable branches from successful master builds for releasing IJ products. Dot numbers mean critical updates to the stable build
