You are correct it is:
major_version.minor_version.build.revision

Here is the definition of how build and revision are calculated (when you
leave * in the AssemblyVersionAttribute)

FROM:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cptools/html/cpgrfAssemblyGenerationUtilityAlexe.asp

If you specify major and minor, you can specify an asterisk (*)for build.
This causes build to be equal to the number of days since January 1, 2000,
local time, and revision to be equal to the number of seconds since
midnight, January 1, 2000, local time, divided by 2.
