The 0.2 implies two "point releases". Traditionally these increment the value after the decimal point in a version number.

It's best to view the version number as a string rather than a decimal number.
This is a somewhat old-school way of versioning and common in open source software. Personally, I prefer something more intuitive and don't see anything wrong with MongoDB being at version 2.0!
