Sensible version strings

[wozman]

Can we have version strings in line with the majority of other plugins, i.e major.minor.patch please?
We have an automated process to pull plugins to an internal on-prem repo and 0.11.2.8.82737cbfa6f5 has broken the version parser.

Fix your parser? https://jenkins.io/jep/229

It's not my parser, it's a vendor product. Never mind, helpful as ever.

[jglick]

What vendor would this be? For some “repository”?

There is no limit on the number of version number components, and nonnumeric final components are permitted. Also compliant with Maven (modulo jenkinsci/lib-version-number#6).

Yes understood. Unfortunately I work for a very large corporate and I'm not permitted to divulge any details. I'll raise it with the internal repo support team.
