For example, before applying any maintenance, the version is 8.0.0.2. As maintenance is applied the last digit is updated, for example to 8.0.0.3.

From IBM MQ Version 9.0 there are two types of release; a Long Term Support (LTS) release and Continuous Delivery (CD) release. For more information, see IBM MQ Release Types.
