Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/14660

State: closed
Merged: Yes


As of about 2022, the one's digit of the Build of our version is a placeholder value to differentiate the Windows 10 build from the Windows 11 build. Let's trim that out, it's only a source of confusion.

For additional clarity, let's omit the Revision, which must be .0, and doesn't provide any value to report.

We will need to make sure we report releases as 1.17.ABC now, instead of 1.17.ABC1.0/1.17.ABC2.0

Let's not backport this. 1.17 will be the start of the new numbering scheme. Otherwise, 1.16.EFG < 1.16.ABC1.0, for an old version ABC1 and a new version EFG.
