# I use the days since Jan 1, 2000 as part of my build number to mimic a behavior found with .NET Full Framework
# that would autoincrement the 4th piece of the version information based on this math. I started using it as a
# way to reverse enginer the build date at runtime. After switching to .NET Core,I lost this, and start using this
# logic to get that behavior back
# Example build numbers resulting from this...
# 7.0.featurebranch.1+7550
# 7.0.1+7550

# Inspiration for the versioning differently between branches
