Difference between revisions of "Version Number"

Latest revision as of 08:33, 15 February 2016

The UBIK^® version number is composed of

a Major (first) and Minor number (second),
a Revision number (third),
and a Build (forth) number.

Major and Minor numbers correlate to strategic and technical milestones and will be retained for a certain period. A new (increased) Revision number indicates new features, whereas the Build number relates to hot- and bugfixes within a certain Revision. Therefore, these last two numbers will change more frequently.

For example, the UBIK^® Version 2.4.4.1, having

Major = 2
Minor = 4
Revision= 4
Build = 1

implements additional features if compared to 2.4.3.1. This can be seen from the different Revision number (4 > 3).

The version 2.4.4.3 has the same features (Revision = 4) but includes certain hot- and bugfixes, which can be seen from the different Build number (3 > 1).

Compatibility Packages

It is highly recommended always to use the latest version of all components, such that all new features are available on the server as well as on the client side.

Be aware, that many features require processing on the server side. Hence, for new client features it might be necessary to have an up-to-date web service installed!
