The changes in version number have one _real_ purpose. For the programmers to establish a precise code base. Other than that, they are often used as a ridiculous marketing hype. A version change from 1.0 to 8.0 could be nothing at all and a change from 1 to 1.01 could be enormous. The number applied is not a "measure of improvement" in any sense of the word. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Take a bite and see how good it is.
