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- Examples include redesigning the core architecture, removing outdated functionality, or introducing a substantial new feature set.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.
