Re: What happened to scratch 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9?
This is radically different, so they skipped. 
The same way you may have 5 editions of a project..
0.1, 0.2, 0.2.1, 0.3, 1.0

Version numbers, contrary to popular belief, are not decimals. They just borrow the look from it.
So, after 4 versions that were pretty similar, they are making many large changes. At first they only incremented the minor number; now they're changing the major.
I hope that clears it up.

It depends on how big the change is, as explained above.

It goes by [version].[patch].
So version 1, patch 4, is 1.4.
This will be version 2, no patches yet, so it will be 2.0.
As Scimonster said, it doesn't go by decimals.
Well, it kinda depends on personal preference
Some people will do it like [majorversion].[minorversion].[patch/revision]
Basically, changing if the first number is changed, it's a big change. If it's the second, a little smaller of one, and the third, a minor change or patch

For instance, Mac OS X's latest version is 10.8.2. That means it's the 10th huge update (it's been like that for about a decade). 8th (Mountain Lion) regular update (usually lasts about 1 year). 2nd patch (last until the next bug gets fixed)
