  • Version Numbers
    • Version numbers are three digit numbers in the form x.y.z:

      VersionNumbers
      Major Version (First Digit)
      This number is incremented only after a major change to the NeXtMidas baseline.
      Minor Version (Second Digit)
      Identifies a release series.
      Indicates type of release:
      • Even Value - Indicates a stable series.
      • Odd Value - Indicates a beta series.
      Update (Third Digit)
      For stable releases this is used to identify subsequent "bug fix releases" made to patch bugs found in the stable release.
      • Only low-risk bug fixes are included in a "bug fix release."
      • "High-risk" bug fixes need to be done in a beta release to allow adequate testing.
      • No new features are added in a "bug fix release."
      Periodic releases of beta releases are made, for each release the update is increased by one.
      • Updates to a beta series may include bug fixes and enhancements.
      Both beta and stable releases will include updated documentation (where appropriate).
