It's nice to have a version history in Confluence. However a new version has been created every time when the document is edited and saved. I'm looking more for a "release" history. Assume I have version 1.0 of my document/page. Then I edit and save the page a couple of times before I'm ready with "release" 1.1. I need something to link a version to a release number and then have an automated release history.
Is there a way to do do something like that in Confluence?

Confluence tracks the history of changes to each page by creating a new version of the page each time it's modified. You can view the changes between different versions, and roll back to a previous version if you need to.
Confluence 7.0 - September 2019.
You'll be happy to know there is no limit to how many page versions will be saved in Confluence.
If you don't see that line, you can visit <Your Confluence Base URL>/admin/systeminfo. action and find out the version from there. You need administrator permissions to access the system information URL. If you don't have administrator rights, it's not possible to see the version number.
I guess Scroll Versions plugin from K15t Software could be one possible solution for versioning and release management of wiki pages within Confluence. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-versions
P.S. I know it is tad old question, but I think someone else may need this info.

A method I have seen used is to attach a file to a page, change the document and upload with the same name multiple times, then change the link on the page when the version changes.
Usually a link to an attached document always references the highest version like this:
[^list.docx]
[ and ] mark the start and end of the link ^ to the right of [ refers to an attachment on the current page and the rest is the name of the attachment which resolves to a hyperlink of:
http://wiki.server.name/download/attachments/464233765/list.docx
From the page the full url is more specific:
http://wiki.server.name/download/attachments/464233765/list.docx?version=1&modificationDate=1406619789890
Refer to Tools > Attachments for a list of file version numbers.
Edit the page.
Create a link to the 'next' version with appropriate link text.
[list.docx V2.1|///download/attachments/464233765/list.docx?version=6]
[list.docx V3.0|///download/attachments/464233765/list.docx?version=9]
[list.docx V3.1|///download/attachments/464233765/list.docx?version=11]
