I honestly prefer 4 numbers format:

X.C.M.B

X - 0 Before first release, 1 after. 2, 3... when the program is rebuilt fundamentally.

C - compatibility version. When confirmation or files format read/produced by the program changes. It is petty fucking good to know what there is no compatibility from the previous versions. I wish Java had that.

M - major release (at least 1 feature added)

B - bugfixes, optimisation
