Historically the Bloomberg Terminal version has been a number that resembled a date, e.g. 03/08/2020 represented a version that was released in March. Due to changes in how we build and deploy the Terminal, we moved to a modern version format represented by Branch.Build.Type (e.g. v141.5.81):

141 is the branch (Major Version) of the terminal
5 is the build number (Minor Version) within that branch
81 is the build type. 80 or 81 means it’s a production build.

All Terminal screens such as Login Screen, UPGR, VERS will now reflect the new version format.
