Posting David Marshall's reply here for clarity:

It's probably worth me listing all of the options, and we can just pick
one to go with:

  A: "Version 0.6.7.1" -> Binary: 0.6
      Will validate. Possible issue with multiple releases being labelled 0.6 in the binary field, possible user-confusion.
  B: "Version 0.6.7.1" -> Binary: 0.671
      Won't validate.
  C: "Version 0.671 (0.6.7.1)" -> Binary: 0.671
      Will validate. Decimal place issues.

I don't regard any of these as "good". B is unacceptable, A and C are
acceptable but have different reporting and future-proofing problems.

Please advise which you prefer and we'll implement it.

Regards
David Marshall
