WARNING: version (0.2) should have exactly three components

When doing devtools::release(), this warning message came out.

I wrote version number 0.2 in my description file. However, what does it mean by "should have exactly three components"?

I'm not sure what exactly "components" indicates.

Here is the full output:

-- Running additional devtools checks for package -------------------------------
Checking version number has three components...
WARNING: version (0.2) should have exactly three components
Checking dependencies don't rely on dev versions... OK
Checking vignette titles are not placeholders... OK
Checking DESCRIPTION doesn't have Remotes field... OK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should use a version number that has 3 integer components separated by .:

Version: 0.2.0
