Im curious, why the version jump? from 1.9.2 to 24.04?

[CLHatch]

My guess would be he's switched to a date-based versioning system. 24.04 likely either means the release in the fourth month in 2024, or it means the 4th release in 2024.

I ditched the meaning less Semantic versioning for Calendar versioning. So YY.MM. That make it easier to call what the upcoming version will be.
