Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #5645, comment 2

initial	v1
9	9	I didn't expect the versioning info in `readme.txt` to have any effect, just as the version number in the Plugin base file docblock doesn't (https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/footnotes/trunk/footnotes.php). Coming from a string of Node.js projects, I expect I assumed the only important version number was stored in some sort of config file like `package.json` or `composer.json`, or that `trunk/` was for dev. versions and `tags/*` was for releases (as this is how this particular Plugin is laid out, but I see that there is no necessity for other projects to use `tags`).

11		This behaviour ''is'' mentioned in the Plugin Handbook (https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/how-your-readme-txt-works/#how-the-readme-is-parsed), but only as a one-liner in the second paragraph of the section of how `readme.txt` is parsed. Not realising that `trunk/readme.txt` ''would'' be parsed, I didn't think to look at ''how'' it might be parsed.
