After we added[1] support for uploading prerelease nuget packages, the versions chosen for these would increment the "Minor" part of the last version released. Example: if last released version was 0.21.7, then the prerelease uploaded would start as something like '0.22.0-date...'.
But this was not a good strategy because if the next version released after 0.21.7 is 0.21.8, then the 0.22.x packages would still be listed earlier than the 0.21.8 package in nuget, falsely implying that they are "ahead" of 0.21.8, when actually they were somewhere between 0.21.7 and 0.21.8.
Therefore we now make the increment happen at the Revision level instead of at the Minor level. So the prereleases after releasing a "0.21.8" for example, will start as '0.21.9-date...'.
And to be more in line with this change, we're gonna start the convention of adding +2 to the Revision every time we tag a release. This way, even numbers will give a "stable" aspect (as they are not a prerelease anyway): 0.21.8, 0.21.10, 0.21.12... And odd numbers will be prereleases: 0.21.9-date..., 0.21.11-date...
