Versioning is [major version].[minor version].[bugfix version] REMEMBER : Every version exists in its own name space. You can link and compile against every version concurrently. NOTE : This is not true for 6.0.0 and 6.1.0, because one public entity was overlooked and missed being placed in the name space for that version - this was fixed in 6.0.1 and 6.1.1.
