/**
* The version and build number of this implementation.
* Version numbers for a release are of the form: w.x.y[-a]-z, where:
*
* -
* w - the major version number of the release. This number should
* start at 1. Typically, a bump in the major version number
* signifies that the release breaks backwards compatibility
* with some older release.
*
* -
* x - minor version number. This number starts at 0. A bump in
* the minor version number signifies a release that has significant
* new functionality.
*
* -
* y - minor-minor version number number. This number starts at 0. A
* bump in the minor-minor version number signifies that new bug
* fixes have been added to the build.
*
* -
* a - an optional build designator followed by a digit. Valid build
* designators are:
*
* - alpha
* - beta
*
*
* -
* z - build number. This is used to specify the build number of the
* release. This is usually only important to people that use
* the daily build of a project. The format is the lower-case
* letter 'b' followed by a two digit number.
*
*
*
* For example, the following are all valid version strings:
*
* - 1.1.2-b02
* - 1.3.5-alpha1-b19
* - 4.7.1-beta3-b20
