Folio uses a YY.## version format string, where YY is the two digit year (aka 23, 24, 25, etc) and ## is the release number of the year (aka 01 for the first release, 02 for the second release, etc., not the month number).

The release version is located in the main meson.build file, no other files contian the version number.
