Can someone explain how the digits went from v1.9 (or v1.90) to v1.1 (or v1.10)? Decimals don't work like that... you can't go from 0.9 to 0.10... it's from 0.9 to 1.0...

who says those are decimals? version numbers are never decimals, they are simply number separated by "." I am surprised that you are surprised

It is used like this everywhere, but it might be less visible if someone uses numbers like 1.14.351.

Yep. Version numbers are always like this.

I think what he's trying to say, that it should have been v1.01, v1.02.... v1.09 and v1.10 now instead of v1.9 going to v1.10. It's a formality, but he's right from the Math symbolistic perspective

^No, it shouldn't. Version numbers do NOT use decimal points- the dot is simply a connecter, not a decimal point, as Lopdo said. A math symbolistic perspective is irrelevant, as this is not math.

Yeah, I guess the developer can choose these values as he wants. It's a shame though, as v1.xx could mean Major updates where vx.1x could mean Minor(but still noticeable changes) and the vx.x0 could be unnoticeable changes

Normally people actually use a.b.c, using c for really minor updates (usually bug fixes), b for updates that affect gameplay, and a for HUGE updates that pretty much completely change it
