In WordPress Toolkit, are you running a 'minor' or 'major' version of WordPress?

Question

While using WordPress Toolkit, you may wish to know if the version of WordPress is updating to a 'minor' version or a 'major' version?

Answer

It is pretty simple to tell. 

Minor versions of WordPress are three digits strong. Example: 4.7.1

Major versions of WordPress are two digits strong. Example: 4.8

Below is an image inside WordPress Toolkit; you see the current version of WordPress is 5.8.1. This version is a minor version, which usually contains security updates and ease-of-life features.

This information may be helpful if you are determining what update settings to use. The below image shows the WordPress Toolkit 'Update Settings' page.
