Hi,
Why not put an evolutive version number, like 2.4.43a or 2.4.43.1, this would avoid confusion and possible problems with two different versions but still named 2.4.43.
As far as I am concerned, for Wampserver, it is named 2.4.43a.
Best regards |

We follow the official ASF HTTPD project numbering. The released source code is still 2.4.43 GA. In this case we have an agreed ASF fix/patch added and mentioned in our announcement and change log. Discussed this with AH, and Apachehaus is also not changing names.
Also we have quite a lot users that auto check for updates by looking at the file. With changing names they ar not happy. |

The httpd project does not follow
| Code: |
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format. |
Otherwise the number x in 2.x.y would have to increase a lot more often  |
