Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.93.0 Beta, branch: master, commit date: 2021-05-28 16:16, hash: rBc36938297753
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
When running bpy.data.version from the python console it returns (2, 93, 18) instead of (2, 93, 0).
With Blender 2.93 being an LTS release, it is important that this value is correct.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
In the python console editor type D.version

I think you may be confusing the Blender application version and the blend-file version. The former is bpy.app.version and the latter bpy.data.version. The subversion number is for ensuring compatibility and proper handling when the blend-file is loaded. Does that answer your question or did I misunderstand your report?

That makes sense, thank you. I do think that the API reference could explain that, but I definitely was confused.

I'm closing the task as this is not a bug in Blender.

@Aaron Carlisle (Blendify) the subversion is more for the internal use in Blender rather than scripts, but this might be worth documenting?
