this the naming convention for softwares. I mean a traditional method for describing the version of a certain software. When a software is developed, its version is generally 1.1 or 1.0 . And as some little changes are made to the software, we see the right number is changed (ie. 1.2 or 1.3 etc) . but sometimes a radical change is made to the software. Then we see the left number changes (2.0 or 2.1)
In short the part before the dot is the primary version number, and the part after the dot is the secondary version.

they are not always, x.y, version 1 is referred as 1, when they fix some minor bugs, or add some minor improvements, it is not worth it to call it version 2 so they call it 1.1 for example, if they added some major improvements, they will call it version2, and so forth

Typically the first number, before the decimal, is the version number and the second number, after the decimal, is the release (or revision) number. So, 1.2 is version 1, release 2.

The first number represents the main version number, the second number represents the number of major revisions to that version, if their is a third number it usually represents the number of minor revisions. ie version 1.1.7
