The version number format in the text file is Major.Minor.Build.Revision, e.g. 1.0.5.25.

Major	Set in file.
Minor	Set in file.
Build	Can be incremented by setting the `buildtype` parameter.
Revision	Can be incremented by setting the `revisiontype` parameter.

`prefix`.version	The complete version number, i.e. Major.Minor.Build.Revision
`prefix`.major	The major component of the version number.
`prefix`.minor	The minor component of the version number.
`prefix`.build	The build component of the version number.
