Versioning Changes

Yesterday we introduced a new versioning scheme for all the products under the JetBrains Toolbox  which will follow the format

YYYY.R

where yyyy represents the year, and r the release within that year.  New versioning is the next step in making process more transparent while having multiple releases per year. Read more about versioning changes in this blog post.
