Data Protector version naming

Sequential versus date based naming convention

In 2018 a decision was made to align the external release version naming for Data Protector with all other ITOM products. This meant the naming would follow a year.month format (YYYY.MM) corresponding to the month of each release. Internally, the product still retains a sequential version number which is used by engineering and support
