Title: Change release versioning to date+time+git revision to comply with distribution rules

I'd like to change the release versioning scheme to the one mentioned above. The current version (simply using git revisions) does not work as they are not purely numerical.

- versions become much longer
- there's no linear increment in version numbers anymore
+ they versioing scheme retains strict monotonity
+ it's immediately clear how old releases are
+ there's no use for a point-release based schema anyway
