==Versioning Concept for Lightning==

Basic concept
*Use short version numbers for official releases, 
*Use verbose version numbers containing the BuildID (yyyymmddhh) for nightly builds.

Example
* nightly builds prior 0.1 release: 
** 0.0.1.yyyymmddhh
* official 0.1 releases: 
** 0.1
* nightly builds after 0.1 release but prior 0.2 release: 
**0.1.1.yyyymmddhh

Problems/Open questions:
* It seems that a.m.o only support version numbers and not strings like 0.1+ or 0.2a 
* How to label alpha or beta releases?
