O.P. RE: [split] Version numbers: 4.5 vs. 4.50
Hey guys, I think most of us have agreed that version numbering conventions in the development world don't use decimal numbers and by *those* conventions 4.5.xxx != 4.50.xxx, but I think we're making too much of a fuss over something that should just be focused on what most people will understand or not. 4.5 (in mathematics not in version numbering, and remember it's not a version number) means 4 and a half, with or without trailing zeros, and that's what the 4.5 means in the website: the 4th and a half revolution in Messenger Plus history.

(I know most in this thread agreed that 4.5 could be seen as 4.05, i.e. 45 minor revisions before 4.50, but consider the potential thoughts of the thousands of people who couldn't care less about participating in a forum thread about version numbering and are quite used to the mathematical view of a number with one single dot acting as a decimal separator).
