Version numbering basics?

version, versioning

Solution

Most places use something like this:

Major Release.Minor Release.Hot Fix.Build

Your version numbers would look like 1.5.0.15, etc.

Problem

Suppose I have a web application with some basic functions. I want to market it. So I would like to assign a version number - something like 0.0.1. What I want to know is are there any constraints that should apply to that numbering system? Hope you understood my question, thanks in advance.
