120beta1build123
120beta1build123 is a software version identifier used to label a specific pre-release build of an application or component. The string typically encodes three pieces of information: a major or internal release indicator (120), a pre-release stage (beta1) and an automatically assigned build number (build123). As a whole, it distinguishes this particular compiled artifact from earlier or later releases during development, testing and deployment.
In practice, such identifiers appear in continuous integration pipelines, package manifests, bug reports and change logs
When used in release management, clear documentation of what changed between adjacent identifiers is important for
