Version is a state of an object or concept that varies from its previous state or condition. The term "version" is usually used in the context of computer software, in which the version of the software product changes with each modification in the software. Revision control is very useful for keeping track of different versions of information.
A variety of version numbering schemes have been created to keep track of different versions of a piece of software. The ubiquity of computers has also led to these schemes being used in contexts outside computing.
