Just leave out the minor version, use e.g. 9.0 or 10.1. If and when it becomes known more specifically it can be added. I only commented on a recent answer of yours for the sake of attention. (I hope you don't mind.)
Also if you feel that my suggested format is inferior I am happy to use something else; I left out "version" for brevity and the meaning seemed clear either way.
Okay. :-) I tried to use wording that was both natural and somewhat unique, the idea being that "introduced in 9.0" or "fixed in 10.0.2" would be easy to search for.
I accidentally cast a reopen vote - is there a mechanism to undo that? I could not find one. I suppose the (expected) lack of consenting votes will accomplish same.
This automates the approach by m_goldberg. I think I am going to find this very useful. It almost feels like this question has to be a duplicate.

@halirutan Have you had any recent problems with Joomla/JPrettify? After a recent update, the <PRE> tags get cleaned from the HTML, so I can't get prettyprint to work anymore.
The Wolfram Language provides tools for programmatic handling of free-form input. For example, Interpreter, which was introduced in Version 10.0, converts snippets of text into computable Wolfram Language expressions. In smart form fields, this functionality can automatically translate input like “forty-two” into a Wolfram Language expression like “42.” But what does it …
I think the answer to this question is, unfortunately, a little difficult. As many will point out, Wolfram is beyond egotistical and that fact definitely colors the reception of the book. There is a long list of (mostly negative) reviews here. The negativity reaches its apex in the review by Co...
I think it's possible to come up with a defense for the title. Traditional science involves designing specific experiments to test specific hypotheses. The fundamental principle in the book is that complexity is unexpectedly common among randomly generated programs. So if you are looking for a program with some specific behavior you are essentially testing the same hypothesis with the same experiment (just changing the search space and selection criteria) no matter what you are looking for.
So it could be called a different approach from doing traditional science.
@MichaelHale The nice thing about maths is that your research doesn't need a defense. It is right or wrong. Perhaps it's useless, but that's another story. Having to defend (or attack) a math book is nonsense. So, let's assume it isn't maths, let's think it is another science. Is it? Errr
@belisarius Sure. But math is often referred to as one of the "formal sciences". They're all trying to understand the behavior and properties of systems. Just some systems are defined by us and some are found in nature.
And his focus was on using the computer to perform experiments by running all programs within a defined space.
Or at least a sampling of programs from various spaces.
@MichaelHale I understand. I've read the book and found it interesting. But more as a "novel" than as a scientific book. And regrettably I couldn't separate the content from a certain personality bias of the author, so I'm a poor judge.
@belisarius I agree that if you rephrase my previous sentence as "Pointing your Wolfram Mathematica Computational Telescope toward undiscovered territories of the computational universe as revealed by the discoveries in this book" it can raise some eyebrows if read in some tones of voice.
However he's never tried to brand the Wolfram Computational Universe. He'd probably agree that would be too much.
@belisarius I've read a lot of the negative reviews. Sure, others found simple programs that generate complex behavior before, but I think you have to give him credit for assigning percentages of programs that produce complex behavior within certain spaces.
I've used it in arguments with religious people before when I don't have time to explain details of certain things. "Well certainly God had to make the landscapes, look how complex they are!" "Actually, I don't think complexity is that special. A significant number of random computer programs produce complexity."
@MichaelHale Most of the CA concepts in the book are interesting, but I'm not expert and I don't really know if they are all "his" concepts or previous art. Anyway, a science is much more than a set of interesting concepts. You need to define a new "object of interest" along with a set of research methods. I'm not sure that he got that far
@belisarius I think it would depend on if, for example, you would say Conway specifically designed and engineered his "Game of Life" CA or if he searched through many variations in his mind to find one that looked complex.
@Zviovich I wouldn't say I enjoy corporate life, but I enjoy the life I'm building around it now that I'm better at managing the corporate part of my life than I was straight out of college.
