`RFC 4122`_ defines five versions of UUID, while a `new Internet-Draft under
review`_ defines three new versions. Each version has different generation
algorithms and properties. Which one you choose depends on your use-case. You
can find out more about their applications on the specific page for that version.

Version 1: Gregorian Time
    This version of UUID combines a timestamp, node value (in the form of a MAC
    address from the local computer's network interface), and a clock sequence
    to ensure uniqueness. For more details, see :doc:`rfc4122/version1`.

Version 2: DCE Security
    This version of UUID is the same as Version 1, except the ``clock_seq_low``
    field is replaced with a *local domain* and the ``time_low`` field is
    replaced with a *local identifier*. For more details, see
    :doc:`rfc4122/version2`.

Version 3: Name-based (MD5)
    This version of UUID hashes together a namespace and a name to create a
    deterministic UUID. The hashing algorithm used is MD5. For more details, see
    :doc:`rfc4122/version3`.

Version 4: Random
    This version creates a UUID using truly-random or pseudo-random numbers. For
    more details, see :doc:`rfc4122/version4`.

Version 5: Named-based (SHA-1)
    This version of UUID hashes together a namespace and a name to create a
    deterministic UUID. The hashing algorithm used is SHA-1. For more details,
    see :doc:`rfc4122/version5`.

Version 6: Reordered Time
    This version of UUID combines the features of a
    :ref:`version 1 UUID <rfc4122.version1>` with a *monotonically increasing*
    UUID. For more details, see :ref:`rfc4122.version6`.

Version 7: Unix Epoch Time
    This version of UUID combines a timestamp--based on milliseconds elapsed
    since the Unix Epoch--and random bytes to create a monotonically increasing,
    sortable UUID without the privacy and entropy concerns associated with
    version 1 and version 6 UUIDs. For more details, see :ref:`rfc4122.version7`.

Version 8: Custom
    This version of UUID allows applications to generate custom identifiers in
    an RFC-compatible format. For more details, see :doc:`rfc4122/version8`.
