Installer says 6.10, but the DW splash screen says 6.01.00, echoed by the about DW window.

Both say Built 24 Jan 2024.

Seems to be a purely cosmetic issue, so far.

Thanks,

Paul

Dear Paul,

I speculate v06.01.00 (on the splash screen) follows a semantic versioning,* which for brevity was condensed trimming leading zeroes and skipping some full stops otherwise indicating the start of a file extension (e.g., `.txt`). Because the name of the installer for Linux is named similarly `datawarrior610.tar.gz` (instead of a `datawarrior06.01.00.tar.gz`); where `.tar.gz` are two typical file extensions of a compressed file archive in this family of OSes.

\* in reference to https://semver.org/

Best regards,

Norwid
