AssemblyVersion default value set by MinVer

[ghost]

Just for my curiosity and because I couldn't find anything about this topic in the documentation, why the default value of AssemblyVersion set by MinVer is $(MinVerMajor).0.0.0 instead of $(MinVerMajor).$(MinVerMinor).$(MinVerPatch).0 as for FileVersion?

minver/MinVer/build/MinVer.targets

Lines 64 to 65 in c0206b5

	<AssemblyVersion>$(MinVerMajor).0.0.0</AssemblyVersion>
	<FileVersion>$(MinVerMajor).$(MinVerMinor).$(MinVerPatch).0</FileVersion>

According to the Microsoft documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/assembly/versioning#assembly-version-number), there is no reason not to set the AssemblyVersion to $(MinVerMajor).$(MinVerMinor).$(MinVerPatch).0

It's in the documentation. Please see Version numbers:

Those properties are used to set the following .NET SDK properties, satisfying the official open-source library guidance for version numbers:

Property	Value
AssemblyVersion	{MinVerMajor}.0.0.0
FileVersion	{MinVerMajor}.{MinVerMinor}.{MinVerPatch}.0
PackageVersion	{MinVerVersion}
Version	{MinVerVersion}

And following that link:

✔️ CONSIDER only including a major version in the AssemblyVersion.

e.g. Library 1.0 and Library 1.0.1 both have an AssemblyVersion of 1.0.0.0, while Library 2.0 has AssemblyVersion of 2.0.0.0. When the assembly version changes less often, it reduces binding redirects.

I was not reading the right documentation! Thank you!
