The minor versions are interchangeable. An increase to the second number is a new (binary incompatible) major version occurring every 1-3 years.
It's unusual but not unique, see Python, Linux kernel, Postgres.
- magic_quotes 9y agoIt's not unusual either, afaik rapidly increasing x in x.y.z was very unfashionable before initial Chrome release. Many java projects (e.g. older Apache Foundation projects: Apache POI, etc) still follow that versioning scheme, it kinda looks like semver, but there is no commitment to preserving compatibility on y changes.
