Release Versioning

Embedded Engine Release Versioning

The Embedded Engine is released as package of multiple libraries, wrappers and scripts. As such, defining typical semantic versioning (e.g. based on discrete API changes) can be a challenge.

Currently the Embedded Engine package adheres to the following semantic-esque versioning:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

e.g.

Release 16.1.0 (or shortened to R16.1.0)

• major - A new software component is added or a known breaking change to major public APIs and/or associated functionality. A customer will need to make significant changes to integrations
• minor - New functionality and/or collection of fixes for individual components that is configurable - e.g. additional content management policies. A customer may only need to make configuration changes to adopt new functionality (unless otherwise explicitly stated in release notes)
• patch - A minor fix or security patch. A customer will not need to make changes to integrations in between patch releases (unless otherwise explicitly stated in release notes)
