Hi,

Why not ask "what is the difference between (+0) & (-0), mathematically"?

both are same. Sign before zero is not a issue in gdg.

No difference.

You can reference the current one as (+0) , (-0) or simply as (0) .

However, It is Generations and not versions in this context.

ABCD.EFGH.RPT01.G3180V00 -> (0)
ABCD.EFGH.RPT01.G3181V00 -> (1)

Hope that helps!
