Be an administrator or list manager, then try this:

1. Display the library listing.
2. Click Modify Settings And Columns.
3. Click Add A New Column.
4. Assign a column name of Release, or SVR, or
    whatever.
5. Review the rest of the fields, but I think the
    defaults should be OK.
    (If you want to restrict values to those in a
    dropdown box, choose "Choice (menu to choose from)"
    anbd enter the values lower down the page.)
6. Click OK.

Your library now contains a Release column where you can
enter and search for values like 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.
