Version Control
Overview
SPECTRUM’s version numbering scheme has up to four numeric fields:
Description
Major Release Increments to the number in this field represent major
changes in the product’s design, functionality, or user interface. Major
releases occur no more frequently than once per year.
Minor Release Minor releases are scheduled product upgrades that include
new or enhanced features, but are not major functionality changes.
Minor releases can occur one or more times per year.
Revision This field increments for subsequent revisions to a release and is
reset to zero with each new major or minor release. Revision releases
usually include bundled patches, new management modules, and
software updates.
Patch This field has special importance for the extension developer. The
value in this field must be zero for the first release of a management
module or application, and increments to a higher value for each
subsequent release of a management module or application.
