To make our updates easier to understand, we’re transitioning to a new release numbering system. Going forward, you’ll see version numbers in the format:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
For example: 1.4.6
Each part of the number tells you something about the update.
Major Releases (X.0.0)
A change to the first number (e.g., from 1.4.6 → 2.0.0) indicates a major release.
Major releases include:
Significant changes to workflows or interfaces
Improvements that may require user awareness or training
Features that required a large amount of technical development
Minor Releases (1.X.0)
A change to the second number (e.g., 1.4.6 → 1.5.0) indicates a minor release.
Minor releases include:
Enhancements to existing features
Usability improvements
Additions that are helpful but not disruptive to your workflows
Patch / Hotfix Releases (1.0.X)
A change to the third number (e.g., 1.4.6 → 1.4.7) indicates a patch release.
Patch releases include:
Bug fixes
Hotfixes
Behind-the-scenes updates that do not impact user experience
