[Framers] version numbering and document control

[Sparky Anderson]

Try something like this:

Year.version number

As in:   2021.1, 2021.2, 2021.3, etc.

Or use a letter as well, as in: 2021.A, 2021.B, 2021.C, etc.

If you need more than 26 versions in a year, double the letters:  2021.AA,
2021.BB, 2021.CC, etc.
