+\* `version` is used by the engine to determine the most recent version of a modpack. Therefore, it should be bumped when something in the modpack changes (e.g. whenever a new version gets published). `versionstr` is what is displayed to the user and can contain any string, so it can be used to represent any sensible version format.
