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.
