Using version numbers like 2.5.1 (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) which would make it much easier to monitor versions of your software installed or across a fleet of the system and in turn automate updates with tools like open source AutoPKG https://github.com/autopkg/autopkg or Installomator https://github.com/Installomator/Installomator or commercial solutions like Jamf Pro patch management, etc.

The "Semantic Versioning" website introduces rules for assigning version numbers: increment the MAJOR version for incompatible API changes, the MINOR version for backward compatible functionality additions, and the PATCH version for backward compatible bug fixes.
