Version number policy

[ianfp]

Hi folks!

Magento has recently told me to download and install two security patches, which I did. While it's great to be notified early, I noticed that the version number in my admin panel still says 1.9.1.0 (I'm using CE).

My question is: will these patches result in a version number increase? I ask because it's nice to know at a glance whether my Magento installation is fully patched and up-to-date. With most of the other software and tools I use (PHP, Symfony, Django), a security patch is always accompanied by a increased version number.

Thanks!

The patch itself should not change version number. I just tested this on another site a few minutes ago.

We're updating dozens of builds for customers .. so this is top of mind for us.
