Version Numbers

When you create a new pack the version number should be set to 1 and build should also be 1. As you make changes to components and release an update, the build number should increase. This allows you to identify the particular release a user has, identify issues, and supply fixes or add new features.

When you need to make breaking changes, or you'd like to release a chargeable upgrade, it's best to increment the version number and reset the build to 1.
