Versioning

[Joseph Byrns]

Currently I am changing the minor and major version numbers whenever I think
there is a minor or major change, and I leave the build and revision numbers
up to Visual Studio to decide.

This is all very subjective and I would like to know if there is any
documentation or there are any opinions on best practice when it comes to
versioning.

Thanks.

How you version your app is up to you. If you let VS increment the build
number (by using the *), it will assign it the number of days since 1st
January 2000. The revision is the number of seconds since midnight divided
by two.

From a technical perspective, if you change any of the major/minor/build
numbers of a DLL, then any EXEs that use it have to be rebuilt.
