So there is somewhat of a standard for version numbering after all:
Semantic Versioning: http://semver.org/
Basicall, version numbers are of the form X.Y.Z where
X is incremented when a change is made that is backward incompatible,
Y is incremented when a change is made that is backward compatible and implements new features
Z is incremented when a change is made that is backward compatible and fixes bugs, or is a patch.
Other version parts can be tacked on to the end too.
