It's 'worse' than that: the Applications release is actually just a
release number, in this case the August 2015 release, the individual
apps inside that release can actually have different version numbers
depending on what their developer gives them.
Most people should just ignore Frameworks, it really doesn't concern
end users. Watch the Plasma and individual Application version numbers
and you're fine.
The only change from our end is perhaps to less emphasise the monthly
Frameworks releases in our PR so people don't fixate on their version
number
Maybe we could make it clearer in the Applications release that's it's
just a convenient release cycle not some deep and meaningful version
number. Most people don't give a damn what version of Office or
Outlook or IE or whatever they have installed on Windows, neither
should our users really.
