Reliable distro files naming convention

We had invested a lot of effort into building automations that would allow upgrade Spotfire quickly. Every such upgrade process starts with new distro files as inputs.

But for some reason, distro filename convention keeps changing and it breaks our upgrade/deployment scripting apart, because scripting needs some stable naming to be able to sort distro files and extract versions.

The last example - one day hotfixes distro looks like SPOT_sfire_deploy_14.0.1_HF-015.zip SPOT_sfire_deploy_14.0.5_HF019.zip

HF-015 becomes HF019 with missing dash. This looks like unnecessary change, and that's only the last one, we had a plenty of that through years. And each case like that requires manual work to adapt to these changes.

Suggestion - please choose one naming convention and stick to it.

Thank you in advance.
