Versioning software and displaying "what's changed" to end users are completely orthogonal. By all means, provide this simple summary when you pop up an update window. Also provide sane, informative version numbers for developers, especially if your software can interact with other software.
- latitude 15y ago> informative version numbers That's the thing. It is really hard to make a string of dotted numbers informative. They can obviously be used to express hierarchy of the versions, and that's useful in development context, but I would strongly argue against trying to pack any additional sense into them.
