Our product is currently using semantic versioning in the following form: major.minor.patch+svnrevision.buildindex for automated builds and major.minor.patch for released builds

&nbsp;I’m looking into the continua and it seems that from the documentation of “Set Build Version Action” our versioning scheme is not compatible because “Note that the reuslt of this expression should be four 16 bit integers”. I can’t believe I’m the first one to stumble into this. How is this difference solved?

Hi Jef,   
  
 We don’t enforce any restrictions on the format on the version number except that it’s length cannot be more that 128 characters. Both of the formats you use are valid. We’re not sure why this format was noted in the documentation but I will update it now.
