How Progress Versions are Numbered
GOAL:
How to read Progress version numbers
GOAL:
How to interpret OpenEdge release numbers
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
When discussing Progress versions, you will usually see at least 2 numbers and a letter.
Examples:
8.2C
8.3E
9.1D
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.
If you see more than this 2 number and a letter pattern it usually indicates a patch level applied to a version.
Examples:
8.2C08
8.3C10
9.0B04
9.1C09
The addition numbers after the letter are used typically to denote
a patch or Service Pack number.
(Only in extremely rare cases will a Commercial release have more than just the 2 numbers and a letter version number.)
Examples:
Version 8.3E
is Major release 8, Minor release 3, maintenance release E
Version 9.1C04
is Major release 9, Minor release 1, maintenance release C with patch 04
Version 9.1D05
is Major release 9, Minor release 1, maintenance release D with Service Pack 05
