U can have a look at the changelog for different versions .....
As far as convention for version numering is concerned no one but netgear can answer that ....
Categories: WGR614L Open Source Router
AS there are many Firmware versions available for the WGR614v8, and latest updates are available, can anyone tell me that how could i know the difference between the firmware versions.
e.g what is the additional facility in v1.1.11_6.0.36 which the versions prior to that didn't have.
Can i get such information for all the firmware versions available?
Secondly ... does anyone know about the format of the version number that why we write it as:
1.1.11_6.0.36 or v1.1.2_1.0.23
what format are they following to change the version number.

Version numbering shows the date and time on which the firmware was created. So from this number you can identify the relatively newer version of firmware.

Actually the reason behind my question is that the company in which i am working wants me to use the same naming convention that netgear is using.
Therefore I am confused that what version number i should write when i will change my firmware.
As i have mentioned 2 different version numbers i.e 1.1.11_6.0.36 or v1.1.2_1.0.23.
I wonder why one start with 1.1.11 and the other with 1.1.2 (not 1.1.12)
and in the same way end with 6.0.36 and the other with 1.0.23.

I have Netgear source code which I downloaded a long time ago. There they used following command to generate firmware version number
"cp kernel_rootfs_image.chk wgr614v8_`date +%m%d%H%M`.chk"
You can download original netgear source code for WGR614L. There you explore the Makefile under "router" directory. You can use the same naming convention as netgear using.
You can get the source code for WGR614L in the link below
