 * Good Day!
 * Awesome plugin. We’ve been using it for over two years with no major issues.
 * Over time, however, we noticed your plugin versioning changed to a very unusual
   one and is not consistent with WP standards.
 * Can you share what versioning system you follow? Seeing six (6) digits in your
   plugin’s version third field is odd for most users. Further, the versioning you’re
   posting on WP is strange looking.

 * Changing it back to the simpler, standard system would be a lot easier to understand
   and track.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@jetxpert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jetxpert/),
 * The six-digit number is a built-in number, which allows us to track packages.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@jetxpert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jetxpert/),
 * What Swathi meant is “build number”.
 * Thanks
