+Quite simply, version numbers have been assigned to snapshots of Manjaro by the developers to help them clearly mark each stage of its development. They also help differentiate between the ISO files released at certain periods of time.
-Users may also have noticed that version numbers currently all begin with a zero. This is used to indicate to the public that Manjaro is currently still in a beta stage of testing and development, as it has not yet reached an officially stable first release. However, we do appreciate that the use of version numbers in this manner has indeed been the source of some confusion, and it is consequently likely that upon the first stable release of Manjaro, they will be replaced with the dates that the snapshots were taken.
