docker version number confusion: 17.06 vs 1.13?

Tags:

docker

I am confused by the version number of docker

Some documentation refers to version numbers like 17.06 E.g. (from here)

However, starting with Docker 17.06, you can also use --mount with standalone containers

But some other documentation refers to version number like 1.13 E.g. (from here)

Note: version 1.13 or higher is required

Was the version numbering convention changed at some point in time?

docker version — List info about your Docker Client and Server versions. docker login — Log in to a Docker registry. docker system prune — Delete all unused containers, unused networks, and dangling images.

17.03.0-ce (2017-03-01)

IMPORTANT: Starting with this release, Docker is on a monthly release cycle and uses a new YY.MM versioning scheme to reflect this. Two channels are available: monthly and quarterly. Any given monthly release will only receive security and bugfixes until the next monthly release is available. Quarterly releases receive security and bugfixes for 4 months after initial release. This release includes bugfixes for 1.13.1 but there are no major feature additions and the API version stays the same. Upgrading from Docker 1.13.1 to 17.03.0 is expected to be simple and low-risk.

It was changed from 17.03. Which is march release for this year
