Every maintenance release or patch rolls the SW to a new build number. We
use a three-stage numbering scheme (x.x.x), where the third x is patches.
Patches are usually documented in service bulletins, which are accumulated
and implemented in the manuals with major (first x) or minor (second x)
releases.
