[MonoDevelop] Best way to manage program version number for C

[Matias Wald]

Hi Steve, 

Not sure on MonoDevelop rules for incremental numbers with C, but I can tell
you that linking compilation to minor version number is not the the way to
go (that's why there's a build or revision numbers). 

Versioning standards go like this: 
[MAJOR].[MINOR].[BUILD].[REVISION]

Rules for numbers (we use this): 
Major & Minor versions map to new GUIs, new features, new components and new
system-wide enhancements.
Minor versions map to bug fixing (general) and component-wide enhancements
(not major)
Build versions map to specific system-wide compilations. Generally, when
QC/QA approves a release (which maps to a build), that build may be used as
a public release.
Revision versions map to system-wide compilation. These are incremental for
each compilation.

I hope this helps, 
Matias
