What is the rational behind elixir versions?

I'm new to elixir. I'd like to know how versions are organized and how do I know which version is more up to date? I have elixir version 1.2 in my machine, but I heard of versions 1.9 and 1.7, despite those seems to came before 1.2.

The current version of elixir is 1.12 (major version:1 , minor version:12). The version 1.2 is rather old and 1.9 and 1.7 all come AFTER 1.2

The versions (from old to new) are:

1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12

Please note that there are sub-versions (patch versions) in each version. So 1.12.2 is newer than 1.12.1
