Higher numbers are newer (than lower numbers of the same game).  That's
really all you can bank on.

Ideally, numbers less than one are still in development, and known to
have flaws.  They may be put on the list, but even the author thinks
they're rough.  The first 'real' release is supposed to be 1.0, with the
decimal showing _little_ fixes after that, and 2.0 being when (and if)
the author does a full re-write.

In practice, each author, and only that author, decides what number to
use and just what it means.  Which is why I said you can only bank on
higher numbers being newer.
