This is because we’ve been doing manual builds. The automated builds still haven’t been fixed.
You are on a develop version, so the version is made up of the git hashes at the time of the build. Release versions are exactly as you desire, 1.7.27: https://app.element.io/version
Given that non-release builds can be based on any branch, there’s no total order so a numerical version is not useful to anyone if they want to know exactly what code they are running. There’d need to be some look-up list which just makes things more painful for everyone involved for 0 gain.
