With this commit in Github the version system of Anki adopts a new year.month.patch approach. That means that the current version is 23.09. Damien decided this time period as this version brings some major features including FSRS and Image Occlusion


https://github.com/ankitects/anki/commit/ffd392de211d8c107b1927c6755d103b34bbae23
