| 20 | '''2 April 2014: Changes to the HELIOS release version numbering''' |
| 21 | |
| 22 | HELIOS release numbering will use the convention “w.x.y" where |
| 23 | |
| 24 | w - Product number. Updated only when very significant releases |
| 25 | |
| 26 | x - Major release. Generally includes architectural changes and therefore not supporting backwards compatibility or includes UI or process changes that require some retraining or implementation within Organisations. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | y - Minor release consisting of bug fixes and minor enhancements to functionality. Minor releases should be fully compatible with previous version and unlikely to disrupt existing users. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | A forth number is added to the version number only when a re-release or intermediate release is required. This will usually be to address a fix for an issue that was included in the previous release was found not to work in testing. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | z - Extra build |
