I deal with a lot of applications, versioning, detection, etc.

#Teams was already a dumpster fire but at least it was a tried & true MSI with all that comes with that AND it had understandable versioning.

Now we've got #NewTeams which is like a junkyard tire fire (is it going to be named "new" forever? Who came up with this junk?) and what kind of absolutely asinine version naming is this?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/teams-app-versioning

e.g. Released: 2024, June 17 - Version: 24137.2216.2931.2440

I thought okay, first two digits are year (which seems accurate comparing the 2023 & 2024 releases) but beyond that? Zero idea.
E.g. 137? I thought, "Huh, is June 17th the 137th day of the year?" Noooope. That would be May 16th (https://www.saturdaygift.com/days/day-numbers-2024/)

WHAT THE HELL Microsoft.

Can anyone make this absurdly long string of digits make sense? I guess it's just curiosity.
