Version Control
SPECTRUM’s numbering scheme for version control consists of up to four
numeric fields as shown in the following diagram.
Major Release - Increments to the number in this field represent major
changes in the product’s design, functionality, or user interface. Major
releases are planned well in advance and occur no more frequently than
once per year.
Minor Release - Minor releases are scheduled product upgrades that
provide new or enhanced features but do not represent functionality
changes as significant as those involved in a major release. Minor releases
may occur one or more times per year.
Revision - This field is incremented for subsequent revisions to a release
and is reset to zero for each new major/minor release.
Patch - This field, previously used for internal tracking of individual
builds under a particular revision and not usually visible to the customer,
assumes special importance to the extension developer. The value of this
field must be zero for the first release of a Management Module or
application and must be incremented to a higher value.
