In order to get this update. You would have to steer through the problems with NA 3.9.1 Which having read on the NI forum is causing numerous issues for both PC and MAC. Matbe hold off until they sort that out.

They're running out of available version numbers before 8.0

There's nothing to stop them (or any software version) going to 7.10.0 - the middle number (usually denoting minor version) typically isn't restricted to being a single digit.

Sorry to disappoint you all but it's not hex , and not quite decimal though it uses only digits (no strict format for build numbers**, a lot of times it's just the executable's last modify date in hex).
** not the 4th section show below but a unique stand alone build # like 92457bd

Format Major.Minor.Patch.PreRelease or Build
though not all companies call all the sub sections the same.

I thought the max would be 7.999.999.999 - I was always told it was 3 digits per section, 
but I looked it up and it looks like it can hit 9007199254740991 per section.

So if NI released a minor version every second (7.9.0. 7.10.0, 7.11.0, etc)
it would be
286,401,075 years, 10 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours, 36 minutes, 22 seconds before they ran out of numbers and had to release 8.0.0 
I did the math on Google so if it's wrong sue them.

They should have enough time to add a handful of the most often asked features for Kontakt 8 then?
