README for the HP Neoview ODBC Drivers for UNIX (R2.5)

release version. The client product version includes the major Neoview release
number, x.y, and the client update number, z.
The client update number is 0 the first time that the client product is issued for
a major Neoview release, such as Release 2.5. The update number then increases
by one for each update of the client product for the major Neoview release. For
example, V2.5.0 is the first release of the client product for Neoview Release
2.5, and V2.5.1 is the first client update for Neoview Release 2.5.
The client product version remains in sync with the major Neoview release,
such as Release 2.5, but only if the client product is changing (that is, has defect
repair or new features) for the release. If a client product is not changing, it
retains its current client product version.
Client products can be changed independently of a minor Neoview release,
such as R2.4 SP2 or R2.4.2. Each update of a client product increases the update
number of the client product version. Because the client update numbers increase
independently of minor Neoview releases, the client product versions are not
always in sync with the minor release versions. If the versions are in sync, it is
coincidental.
