Version Numbering
Version Numbers
|
|
- Version Numbers
- Version numbers are three digit numbers in the form
x.y.z :

- 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).
Don't Make This Mistake: |
These rules came into affect in early 2004. Prior versions of Midas, such as X-Midas 3.8.x
and NeXtMidas 1.6.x did not follow these rules.
