We recommend that RawTherapee stable releases not use a suffix at all, while all development versions use "5-dev" - hopefully the person who made the build you're using took this into account. It might be specific, like "5.0-gtk2-123-g87654321", it could be general, like "5", it could be anything else, like "_test", or it could be not set. The second part, the suffix, is up to the person who made the build. The first part, "RawTherapee", is hard-coded.
