OK, so since no one made a post about this yet, then I'll do this.
These are some build numbers of PvZ from various sources (mostly from "The Making of PopCap's PvZ ")
The build dates (if present) are written in MM/DD/YYYY format
FORMAT:
Lawn of the Dead 0.9.9.1030 - 05/09/2008 | | | | V V V V Product name Version Build - Build date
Product name: The game title during its development.
Version: Self-explanatory.
Build: "Subversion", always put behind the version number.
Build date: The date the game was compiled.
Early development versions don't have build numbers.
If the build date is not visible, then "Date unknown" will be added instead.
Italic: No information or existence doubtful
Bold: Information or pictures available
Bold italic: Leaked or released
Stuff marked with question mark, with or without parentheses: Speculation.
