A patch can be a update, or new version of software, it could also serve as a upgrade.
From what i understand, you release a working version, and the patch further updates and inhances the program, and its version( to keep track).
But you release updates* as useualy they are new versions.
1.0 "release"
1.1b "patch"
2.0 "release, or update"
We probably wont be getting a new patch, we will be getting a new version or release.
After that, it will be patched.
So we should be from 2.11 to 2.12 patch 0
Then it will be 2.12 patch 1 so on and so forth.
Right now, our aces high is version 2.11 patch 3.
I highly doubt we will see a jump in version number from 2.11 to say 3.0
If we did, we would probably be calling aces high, ace's high 3.
oh, so right now we are at release 2 "2." update 11 ".11" patch 3 "yeah".
Hope this helps.
