Safari Versioning Help

[ghall]

Okay, I was looking through my website traffic, and I need some help translating these Safari versions. I don't absolutely need the answer, I'm just curious.

Safari 522.12
Safari 419.3
Safari 522.13.1
Safari 312.6

Ah thank you.
Seems a bit overly complicated to me, but oh well.

well it basically gives you the safari version #, which OS it came with, the safari build # and the webkit build #...isn't that what you were wanting?

No, I get it, but I don't get why they don't just go with a less sophisticated versioning system. Maybe I just don't understand how version systems work.
