How Version Numbers Work

QuickEasy BOS uses a three-tier software versioning system to track and manage changes in software development. It typically uses a format like X.Y.Z:

Major Version (X)

  • Represents significant changes, major new features, or backward-incompatible updates.
  • Examples include redesigning the core architecture, removing outdated functionality, or introducing a substantial new feature set.
  • Incrementing this number often signals that users may need to adapt their systems, learn new workflows, or migrate data.

Minor Version (Y)

  • Indicates smaller feature updates, improvements, or significant enhancements that are backward-compatible.
  • Examples include adding a new module, improving existing functionality, or extending system integrations.
  • These updates enhance the software without disrupting existing workflows.

Patch Version (Z)

  • Used for bug fixes, security patches, and small optimisations.
  • Examples include resolving performance issues, fixing errors, or addressing compatibility issues.
  • Patch updates are intended to maintain stability without introducing new features.

Example 

If the software version is 2.4.1:

  • 2: Major version – Indicates the second generation of the software.
  • 4: Minor version – Indicates four significant feature updates have been added since version 2.0.0.
  • 1: Patch version – Indicates one bug fix or patch has been applied since version 2.4.0.
