Comment (by rhaas):
Ian: 1.8.10 is considered newer than 1.8.9. Each numerical part (decimal points are not numeric) is compared independently as an integer(ie. this is the old Unix convention for version numbers, where versions such as 1.08 make no sense [NB: 08 would be identical to 8 and not the invalid octal number 8]).
