You can check that in product history, via blogs, and in the help file.

At the end of the day, its no Biggy, but it seems more users are happy for it to move with a build identifiy rather than a Year.

You only have to look at our Competitors Winzip, Stuffit, 7-zip,Winrar.

All of such moved away from Year stamps, as it doesnt really give the user an indication of major, minor, revision updates.

Every time i visit Winzips website i know prior it was version 14.1, i visit the site 2 months later its 14.6. instantly from that i know changes have been made without having to read the news, blogs or anything else.
