Question Question for Kivgaen about iTunes vs. iPad - Apple

What do the different version numbers mean, and how can I make my .epub files version 1.0.5? What version does Sigil make?

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows what this means and who can point me to a direction where I can learn more about it.
Hi, Kivgaen:

I think everyone here has explained the "1.05" validation item better than I could! I do have a question for you, if I may:

When you say iTunes, is that what you meant, as opposed to iBooks and/or IPads? I too have clients that want to have their works available on Apple platforms, but are highly disgruntled about the idea of having to cough up 50-55% to "approved Apple affiliates" in order to publish on the iPad, and do not want to buy a Mac just to get up on their (Apple's) platform. I thought I'd seen an article, somewhere, about uploading to iTunes directly--is that your intent, or...?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,

Hitch
