Sorry for being offtopic here but 0.10 after a 0.8??!!
Isn't that like going back to 0.1 because, 0.1 == 0.10. Well I hope developers these days don't get to skimp on mathematics (that too as basic as that). Ok well, feel free to mod me down everyone.

No because each number between periods is treated as a separate number. In the example you provided, 0 is the major number, 10 is the minor - you can also have build/revision numbers as well. Many version numbers have 3 or 4 different numeric indicators, giving you numbers like:
1.20.3
I know, it makes it painful to think about...sorry.
