GOAL:
What are Progress maintenance releases?
GOAL:
What do the Progress version numbers mean?
FIX:
In discussing Progress versioning, we refer to the first number in the version as the Major release number. The second number is referred to as the Minor release (aka point release number). The letter usually designates a specific main release or maintenance release within that version level. The addition numbers after the letter are used typically to denote a patch number or service pack level, e.g.:
Version 9.1A
is Major release 9 Minor release 1 main release A
Version 9.1B
is Major release 9 Minor release 1 maintenance release B
Version 9.1C04
is Major release 9 Minor release 1 maintenance release C with patch 04
Version 9.1E02
is Major release 9 Minor release 1 maintenance release E with service pack 02
The maintenance releases and patches/service packs are cumulative. That is, they include the bug fixes that were released for the prior main/maintenance release, e.g. patch 9.1C26 also includes what was fixed with patch 9.1C25 (and so on, recursively), and 9.1D includes the bug fixes that were released for 9.1C.
