As others have mentioned there’s a standardized versioning scheme that most developers use and that standard is semantic versioning: https://semver.org. There are other standards too and not every development team uses a standard that is externally recognized standard.
why don't they use a friendlier naming scheme? such as 0.18.1a 0.18.1b 0.18.2 ?
