Version nomenclature

The versions are formed of 3 numbers separated by dots. We therefore find an X.Y.Z pattern.

  • X corresponds to the major version: changes not backward compatible. The major evolutions bring new functionalities, by radically changing the appearance or the architecture of the software.

  • Y corresponds to the minor version: addition of backward compatible features, mainly bug fixes, addition of some features.

  • Z is patch: backward compatible bug fixes, security vulnerabilities.
