Phoronix: Intel's Cloud-Hypervisor Jumps From v0.14.1 To v15.0 To Signify Its Maturity, Stabilizing

Amen.... Version . revision. patch

Version bump = usually backwards compatible , but does not have to be, usually means written from scratch.
Revision bump = backwards compatible, introduce new features such as new file formats etc...
Patch = a fix of the revision.

This covers just about anything, and it is quite annoying that people buy that crap that a higher version number means beans better. It used to be that revision + patch number meant something about stability of the thing you where running. Those days are gone it seems - mainstream marketing seems to have convinced people that software, rot and needs to be upgraded or otherwise it will suddenly become unstable , make your computer squeak and go slow... NONSENSE - it is all just instructions in a specific order... that's it!
