A version name is decomposed in 7 parts: status, state, version identifier #1, version identifier #2, version identifier #3, version identifier #4, and public name.

Let's break down the version name : rel.P-A.0.0.0.1.tanooki.

rel is the status. There are 2 possible options, here: rel(release) and dev(development). Most of the versions are rel, but, some experimental versions are classed dev, so you know that they are totally unstable.

P-A is the state. There are a lot of possibilities for this one. Here are all of them: P-A(pre-alpha), A(alpha), B(beta), F(final).

The 0.0.0.1 are the version identifiers. The number can be litteraly infinite, if there is order.

The tanooki is the public name. It's basically a cute name for this version.
