Details

Type pdaVersion

The version can be defined as:

major.minor
this is the short-hand version number. This can be a YYYY.MM (year.month) value also.
major.minor.patch
adds the patch to indicate small changes. This can be a YYYY.MM.DD (year.month.day) value also.
major.minor.patch.iteration
where the iteration is often relating to a (software) implementation and thus less typical in PDK or BB versions.
It can be useful in the compact model files to indicate that the same measurements or simulations have received a new model instance.

A major number change indicates something big changed, while the minor is for more incremental changes. The patch indicates normally small data updates like new measurements.
