NO.
Postfix versions are NOT decimal numbers are not compared that way.
Rather a Postfix version number is a sequence of ordinals compared
lexicographically, each component is a non-negative integer and
individual components are compared as integers, not decimal fractions.
For official releases the version format is:
Major.Minor.Micro
Postfix 2.3 refers to all releases of the form 2.3.x for some non-negative
integer x. That is 2.3.0, 2.3.1, ...
For snapshot releases the format is:
Major.Minor-Date
These predate the corresponding official release Major.Minor.0,
and as before the major and minor numbers are integer ordinals,
not decimal fractions or alphabetic strings and are compared as
such.
Thus:
2.0.16 < 2.1.5 < 2.3.1 < 2.10-20121210 < 2.10.0 (not yet released)
