Previous version number format
This document refers to a previous version number format followed by OutSystems.
For the current version number format, check How are OutSystems Platform versions numbered?
The previous version number format consisted of a sequence of four numbers, separated by a period, and assigned in ascending order.
This version numbering schema was as follows:
Major first digit.Major second digit. [Feature set][Patch set].[Hotfix or Alpha/Beta]
(M.n.ffpp.xyy)
[Major first digit].[Major second digit]
M.n
These two digits identify the Major version. A new Major version is defined in your Subscription Agreement as an “Upgrade” or a “New Software Version”.
[Feature set][Patch set]
[ff][pp]
ff [01-99] - it signals that a new feature set has been delivered. It is incremented when a new feature set is delivered along with defect fixes.
pp [00-99] - it is reserved for patch sets. It is incremented when a new patch set includes only defect fixes, and no changes to the feature set.
[Hotfix or Alpha/Beta]
M.n.ffpp.xyy
xyy = 0 - Generally Available version
xyy [1-99] - Hot fix over a Generally Available version
xyy [100-999] - Alpha or Beta release
Examples
9.1.100.0 reads as Major version 9.1, feature set 1, patch set 0
9.1.101.4 reads as Major version 9.1, feature set 1, patch set 1, hotfix 4
9.1.101.302 reads as Major version 9.1, feature set 1, patch set 1, beta 302
