| 4 One to four dot-separated integers |
| 5 identifying the version of this extension. |
| 6 A couple of rules apply to the integers: |
| 7 they must be between 0 and 65535, inclusive, |
| 8 and non-zero integers can't start with 0. |
| 9 For example, 99999 and 032 are both invalid. |
| 10 </p> |
| 11 |
| 12 <p> |
| 13 Here are some examples of valid versions: |
| 14 </p> |
| 15 |
| 16 <ul> |
| 17 <li> <code>"version": "1"</code> </li> |
| 18 <li> <code>"version": "1.0"</code> </li> |
| 19 <li> <code>"version": "2.10.2"</code> </li> |
| 20 <li> <code>"version": "3.1.2.4567"</code> </li> |
| 21 </ul> |
| 22 |
| 23 <p> |
| 24 The autoupdate system compares versions |
| 25 to determine whether an installed extension |
| 26 needs to be updated. |
| 27 If the published extension has a newer version string |
| 28 than the installed extension, |
| 29 then the extension is automatically updated. |
| 30 </p> |
| 31 |
| 32 <p> |
| 33 The comparison starts with the leftmost integers. |
| 34 If those integers are equal, |
| 35 the integers to the right are compared, |
| 36 and so on. |
| 37 For example, 1.2.0 is a newer version than 1.1.9.9999. |
| 38 </p> |
| 39 |
| 40 <p> |
| 41 A missing integer is equal to zero. |
| 42 For example, 1.1.9.9999 is newer than 1.1. |
