B.

This makes sense. My experiences have been that such adjustments by the
application developer results in a sub-minor version change. GnuCash did
this recently when some bug fixes broke the Windows version (they added a
fourth digit to the verson number), then fixed all the issues and released a
new minor version, dropping the last digit.

Good advice.
