Major version<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major version corresponds to the market release of features that involve a significant amount of development time and\/or effort (e.g. change in graphical interface, entirely new features, new algorithms, integration of new technologies). A major version generally leads to a change in user experience both for administrators and end users. One exemple of this would be a change in the software installation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minor version<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A minor version corresponds to the market release of new features that complement or enhance existing features in the major version. They generally do not require major development efforts and aim to improve the existing version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A build corresponds to the market release of a slight improvement to the product or a bug correction.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
