- Software Versioning schemes
- Three level(major.minor[.revision] or major.minor[.patch])
- The major number is increased when there are significant jumps in functionality, the minor number is incremented when only minor features or significant fixes have been added, and the revision number is incremented when minor bugs are fixed.
- The basic intent is that MAJOR versions are incompatible, large-scale upgrades of the API. MINOR versions retain source and binary compatibility with older minor versions, and changes in the PATCH level are perfectly compatible, forwards and backwards.
- Four level(major.minor[.build[.revision]] or major.minor[.maintenance[.build]])
-
- Major : Assemblies with the same name but different major versions are not interchangeable. This would be appropriate, for example, for a major rewrite of a product where backward compatibility cannot be assumed.
- Minor : If the name and major number on two assemblies are the same, but the minor number is different, this indicates significant enhancement with the intention of backward compatibility. This would be appropriate, for example, on a point release of a product or a fully backward compatible new version of a product.
- Build : A difference in build number represents a recompilation of the same source. This would be appropriate because of processor, platform, or compiler changes.
- Revision : Assemblies with the same name, major, and minor version numbers but different revisions are intended to be fully interchangeable. This would be appropriate to fix a security hole in a previously released assembly.
