Erm, I believe that the convention is, with version numbers, if only one
period is given, it is interpreted as a decimal; if two or more are given,
they're interpreted just as deliminators, so 1.12 would be less new than
1.2, which could be expressed as 1.20. However, 1.0.12 would be
significantly newer than 1.0.2, because the period in that case was simply
used to separate the parts of the version.
Of course, I don't know in this case, and so it may in fact be "one point
twelve" and not "one point one two," but it shouldn't be :)
