How to read the changelog:
The first number is the ‘major’ version change. Such as a complete overhaul of the entire map.
The second set of numbers are ‘minor’ version changes. These are things such as entirely new features added, or having to overhaul a specific feature to make it work better.
The third number is the ‘build’ number. This is the number of separate compiles or incremental saves that have been done to the map, to ensure if something were to happen to break the game in say version 1.2.54, I can simply roll back to 1.2.53, I don’t need to go ALL the way back to 1.1.
