-Version Formats
-===============
-
-In some circumstances fwupd has to convert from a unsigned integer version
-number into something that has either been used in documentation or has been
-defined in some specification.
-A good example here is the UEFI ESRT table, which specifies a `uint32_t` for
-the version but does not specify how this should be formatted for the user.
-
-As is typical in underspecified specifications, vendors have converted the
-integer in different ways. For instance, Dell uses version strings like 1.2.3
-and Microsoft use versions like 1.2.3.4.
-
-The fwudp daemon can match specific devices and apply the correct version style
-using quirk files. The version format can also be specified in the firmware
-`metainfo.xml` file so that the new version is correctly shown, and so that it
-matches on the LVFS website.
-
-The current version formats supported by fwupd and the LVFS are:
-
- * `plain`:     Use plain integer version numbers with no dots, e.g. `AABBCCDD`
- * `quad`:      Use Dell-style `AA.BB.CC.DD` version numbers
- * `triplet`:   Use Microsoft-style `AA.BB.CCDD` version numbers
- * `pair`:      Use two `AABB.CCDD` version numbers
- * `bcd`:       Use binary coded decimal notation
- * `intel-me`:  Use Intel ME-style notation (`aaa+11.bbbbb.CC.DDDD`)
- * `intel-me2`: Use alternate Intel ME-style-style `A.B.CC.DDDD` notation
-
-These can be specified in quirk files like this:
-
-    # Vendor Modelname
-    [Guid=5b92717b-2cad-4a96-a13b-9d65781df8bf]
-    VersionFormat = intel-me2
-
-...or in metainfo.xml files like this:
-
-    <custom>
-      <value key="LVFS::VersionFormat">intel-me2</value>
-    </custom>
-
-Runtime requirements
---------------------
-
-Versions of fwupd `< 1.2.0` can only support firmware updates with key values
-`LVFS::VersionFormat` of `quad` and `triplet`. Additionally, on older versions
-no quirk `VersionFormat` device fixups are supported.
-
-If want to use one of the additional version formats you should depend on a
-specific version of fwupd in the firmware file:
-
-    <requires>
-      <id compare="ge" version="1.2.0">org.freedesktop.fwupd</id>
-    </requires>
-
-This is not *strictly* required, as the integer value can be used for update
-calculations if the version is specified in hex (e.g. `0x12345678`) in the
-`<release>` tag, although the user might get a bit confused if the update
-version does not match the update description.
